Description
This vibrant avocado salad recipe With Grapefruit and Pistachio Sparks is a light, satisfying meal bursting with fresh, zesty flavors and delightful textures. It is perfect for quick, nutritious weeknight dinners and easily becomes a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 2–3 ripe avocados
- 1–2 pink grapefruits
- 0.25 cup shelled pistachios, unsalted dry-roasted
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
- 0.25 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (30ml)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (15ml), plus extra for avocado
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Grapefruit: Carefully peel the grapefruit with a small knife, removing all white pith. Segment the grapefruit over a bowl to catch any flavorful juices, which you can add to the dressing. Set the glistening segments aside.
- Dice Avocado: Halve your firm-ripe avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the creamy flesh. Dice it into bite-sized chunks. Gently toss these with a generous splash of lime juice to prevent any browning, keeping them vibrant green.
- Chop And Combine: Finely chop the fresh mint and thinly slice the red onion. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the grapefruit segments, diced avocado, sliced red onion, and chopped mint.
- Make The Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, remaining lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified.
- Toss And Serve: Pour the dressing evenly over the salad mixture. Gently toss to coat all ingredients, ensuring every piece is lightly dressed. Just before serving, sprinkle generously with the shelled pistachios for maximum crunch and visual appeal.
Notes
For health-forward upgrades, opt for organic grapefruits and avocados when possible. When shopping seasonally, look for firm, heavy grapefruits in winter months. Avocados should yield slightly to gentle pressure for optimal ripeness. For a subtle kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of honey to the dressing for sweetness. A sprinkle of crumbled feta also adds a nice savory twist. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
