Description

Grapefruit Avocado Salad is a tangy, creamy dish made with grapefruit, avocado chunks, kale, Parmesan cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds tossed in a simple vinaigrette.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 oz. chopped kale, leafy parts only, no stems, about 8 cups
  • 1 large avocado, cut into chunks
  • 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds or pine nuts

Dijon Grapefruit Vinaigrette

  • 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/4 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the kale with half of the salad vinaigrette. Use your hands or a pair of tongs to massage the vinaigrette into the kale. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Peel and cut the avocado into chunks and segment the grapefruit. Leave grapefruit segments whole or cut in half.
  4. Add the avocado, grapefruit, Parmesan cheese, and pumpkin seeds to the salad. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and toss to combine. Taste the salad and add more Parmesan cheese and salt if needed. 

Notes

  • Grapefruit: You will need a total of one grapefruit for this recipe. Juice some of it for the vinaigrette and use the rest for the salad.
