~ Have a lovely, still-summery weekend! ~
GRAPEFRUIT AND AVOCADO SALAD
1 large grapefruit, peeled and each segment skinned
1 small (or medium) ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, cut bite-sized
1 cup arugula* leaves or romaine lettuce (tender bits), bite-sized
Optional toasted sesame seeds
Dressing (kinda optional too, for avo "purists"):
Bit of olive oil, rice vinegar; pinch each sugar, black pepper & salt
1) Put the grapefruit, avocado and arugula (or romaine) in a bowl
2) Mix the dressing ingredients together, adjust to taste
3) Pour over salad, add sesame seeds, toss and chow!
Little notes:
*Arugula = rocket in the UK.
I believe this recipe was first shared by a college friend's mother, but it's been so long since college I can't remember clearly. :)

This dish looks so divine and fresh! Perfect for a summery weekend. Enjoy!
You know what the next best thing would be after a great avomeal? Going to an avofest! There are no avocado celebrations in Italy, but I took a peek at CAF's website and it looks like a lot of fun for a good cause. http://www.avofest.com/

Yum, I'd never think to pair these two!

Sounds so delicious and refreshing! Oh and I had to laugh when you said arugula is rocket in the UK. I remember first time I was in the UK about 16 years ago I had no idea what rocket was but I kept seeing it on menus. I was too young and naive to ask at the time :)
Hope you have a fantastic weekend! xoxo

Wow, somehow I never thought of pairing grapefruit with avocado, but now that I read about it I realize it must be such a heavenly combo!!
Yum! I'm definitely trying this soon.
This looks delicious! I have def been going all out on avocados lately but have never tried a combo with fruit. I bet this is real refreshing ;)
I have two ripe avocados and a big bag of sesame seeds in the cupboard. It must be fate.
I'm not usually a huge fan of fruit in salads but this recipe looks absolutely delicious!

Great recipe. I love the links to easy segment skinning! Who knew?
thank you for your lovely comments on my blog and flickr. I am off to paris tomorrow for two days armed with addresses of paper shops and handmade shops, have you seen the book "paris made by hand by Pia Jane Bijkerk" I am using that as my guide.
Hi MarchMusings - thanks and haha, I also found the easy segment skin lesson so useful!
HI Justine - have a lovely time in Paris! I've seen but not read the Bijkerk book, it sounds fantastic & hope you get in a goodly bit of paper and handmade shops! :)
