AVOCADO GRAPEFRUIT SALAD RECIPES

Steps:

• To make the dressing, in a mixing bowl whisk together the sugar, dry mustard, salt, vinegar, and grated onion until well blended. Pour in the oil and then whisk until thick and emulsified.
• Heat a skillet on medium, add the poppy seeds, then lightly toast while stirring occasionally for a minute. Remove from the heat and stir them into the dressing. Taste and make any adjustments if needed.
• For the salad, the lettuce into pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the grapefruit, avocado, and red onion. Dress with ¼ cup of the dressing then lightly toss until well coated. Serve with more dressing on the side.
• Any leftover dressing will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Steps:

• Put a large colander in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions to the colander, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and toss until the salt is evenly distributed. Let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Transfer the cucumbers and onions from the colander to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat them dry with another layer of paper towels. 
• Whisk together the sour cream, dill, vinegar and a few cracks of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the cucumbers and onions and toss until coated.
• To make ahead: Salt and pat dry the cucumbers and onions as above, then keep separate from the dressing until ready to serve.
