Our vege box has us inundated with citrus, including a grapefuit. Last year when a grapefruit turned up I ate it for breakfast but didn't think much of it, but y'all helped out with some great alternative grapefruit uses in the comments. One of them was this salad from Fiona - we bought a couple of avocados especially and had to wait patiently over several days for them to ripen, but it was worth it. Their mild flavour is always lifted by sour citrus, and some mixed greens are just about all you need to finish this off. As a matter of fact, we finished this serves-4 recipe off for dinner between just the two of us.
Avocado & grapefruit salad
(slightly adapted from a recipe from Fiona)
1 grapefruit
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2 avocados, ripe but still firm
mixed greens (we used rocket and baby spinach leaves)
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
Peel and segment the grapefruit over a bowl, to catch the juice - I like this technique. Set the segments aside and whisk the oil, salt and pepper into the juice.
Dice the avocados and place them in a bowl with the grapefruit. Pour over the grapefruit juice dressing and gently toss the ingredients until the avocado is well dressed. Fold in the mixed greens and coriander.
Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering where you get your vegie box delivery from? I've been playing around with a few different places, trying to find my favourite. I haven't ever been delivered a grapefruit though! That would be nice :-)
Welcome, Anna! We're currently getting an organic vege box from Aussie Farmers Direct. They do offer a nice variety of different produce. :-)
DeleteI'm glad you liked it! And now you've reminded me yet again to make it (which I did after I commented last time, I am very easily persuaded.)
ReplyDeleteA friendly reminder is the least we can do - thanks again for the lovely simple recipe, Fiona. :-)
