Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 grapefruit, segmented
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the mixed berries under cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into smaller pieces for easier mixing.
- Next, cut the grapefruit in half and use a sharp knife to segment the fruit. Carefully cut along the membranes to release the segments, ensuring you remove any seeds. Set the grapefruit segments aside in a bowl.
- Take the ripe avocado and cut it in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the segmented grapefruit to the bowl with the diced avocado. Then, gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to mash the berries or the avocado.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until well combined. This will serve as your dressing.
- Pour the honey-lime dressing over the avocado, grapefruit, and berry mixture. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing.
- To serve, divide the salad into two bowls or plates. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Enjoy your Berried Avocado Grapefruit Salad immediately as a refreshing side dish or a light meal!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy. A ripe avocado will yield gently when pressed.
- Select fresh, seasonal berries for the most intense flavor and vibrant color.
- When segmenting the grapefruit, use a sharp, serrated knife to easily remove membrane sections.
- Chill your ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
- For added texture, consider toasting some sliced almonds or adding a sprinkle of chia seeds.
- The honey-lime dressing is key—adjust sweetness to taste by varying honey quantity.
- Serve immediately to prevent avocado from browning and maintain the salad's fresh appearance.
