Ina Garten Avocado Grapefruit Salad

Ina Garten Avocado Grapefruit Salad is a simple yet sophisticated salad that features ripe avocados and juicy grapefruit segments arranged beautifully on a plate. The salad is dressed with a light vinaigrette, making it a bright and refreshing option that’s as delicious as it is visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 large grapefruits
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Mixed greens or arugula (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Prepare the grapefruit segments: Peel the grapefruits, removing all the white pith. Using a sharp knife, cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments. Set aside.
  • Slice the avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and slice them into wedges. Gently remove the peel from each wedge.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  • Assemble the salad: Arrange the avocado slices and grapefruit segments on a serving platter or individual plates.
  • Drizzle with dressing: Spoon the dressing over the avocados and grapefruit.
  • Optional greens: If desired, place a bed of mixed greens or arugula on the plate before arranging the avocado and grapefruit.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served fresh to maintain its texture and flavor.
