Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 ruby red grapefruit
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil julienned
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
Substitutions and Additions
- You can use lemon juice instead of lime, if desired.
- For a little extra sweetness, drizzle fresh honey on top!
- Or sprinkle sugar on top of the grapefruit, and lightly broil it before adding it to the salad for a fancier version.
