Ingredients

  • 4 pink grapefruit
  • 4 avocados
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 8 whole Boston lettuce leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped chives

Directions

  1. Peel a grapefruit cutting away as much pith as possible. Over a bowl, cut flesh away from membranes and allow fruit to fall into bowl. Repeat with remaining grapefruit.

  2. Hale avocados lengthwise and remove pits. Scoop out flesh with a spoon. With a stainless steel knife, cut avocado lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. lime juice to keep from tuning brown.

  3. Whisk 2 Tbsp. lime juice with mustard, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in oil.

  4. Place lettuce leaves flat on a platter. Arrange grapefruit segments and avocado on top. Drizzle salad with dressing, sprinkle with chives and serve.
