Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 medium ripe avocados

  • 1 medium red grapefruit

Directions

  1. Combine lemon juice, Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until vinaigrette is emulsified.

  2. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and carefully peel off skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss in vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown.

  3. Peel grapefruit skin and all the white pith with a large, sharp knife. Cut between membranes to release the grapefruit segments.

  4. Arrange avocado slices evenly around the edge of a large platter, then arrange grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon vinaigrette over top, then sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
