Description
A refreshing salad featuring rich avocado, zesty grapefruit, and crunchy fennel that dances with flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 grapefruit
- 1 bulb of fennel
- 1/4 cup nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Segment the grapefruit, separating the juicy flesh from the membrane, and chop it into smaller pieces.
- Thinly slice the fennel: Use a mandoline for perfect slices or a sharp knife for lovely thin strips.
- Combine the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the sliced avocado, grapefruit pieces, and fennel.
- Dress it up: Drizzle olive oil over the salad. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness, if desired.
- Season to taste: Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Top with nuts: Scatter your chosen nuts over the salad.
- Toss gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the avocado. Serve immediately.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but components can be prepared ahead of time. Keep avocado and grapefruit pieces separate until ready to serve.
