Ensalada de Toronja: Grapefruit Salad

This is a very refreshing salad. In Southern Mexico, it would most likely be made with fruit vinegar, especially pineapple vinegar, but apple cider vinegar is a good substitute. Only a small amount of dressing is used, since the flavor and juiciness come from the grapefruit.

Ingredients:

• 1 small head lettuce, washed, dried and torn into small pieces
• 2 ruby red grapefruits, peeled, separated into segments, white membranes removed
• 1 avocado, peeled and diced
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or fruit vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• salt to taste

Preparation:

Place first four ingredients in a salad bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, cumin and salt. Toss dressing with salad and serve immediately.

Serves 6.
