If you want avocados for breakfast but want to change it up from avocado toast…. this grapefruit avocado salad is the recipe for you! It may seem like a strange combination, but diced avocado and grapefruit together really makes an amazing pair and the flavors balance out each other perfectly.
I love this avocado grapefruit salad as a post-work out meal. Its great to eat as a recovery snack after a workout too! Its filling but also feels very restorative and healthy. And keeps me full until lunch. This is one of my new favorite flavor combinations – so when I buy a bag of avocados from the store, I always buy a bag of grapefruits too.

How Do I Make This Grapefruit Avocado Salad?
- Halve the avocado and remove the pit carefully. Take a knife and score the avocado fruit lengthwise and then again crosswise, creating about 1 inch chunks of avocado. Make sure to carefully cut the fruit all the way to the skin without puncturing the skin. Take a spoon and scoop the scored avocado out into a bowl.
-
Remove skin from the grapefruit (I like to use a paring knife rather than peeling it) and cube the grapefruit into 1 inch chunks. Mix into bowl with avocado.
-
Julienne fresh basil, and combine with avocado and grapefruit.
-
Juice half a lime into the fruit bowl, mix and serve immediately.
