SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Before serving, cut the avocados in 1/2, remove the seeds, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4 thick slices. Toss the avocado slices in the vinaigrette to prevent them from turning brown. Use a large, sharp knife to slice the peel off the grapefruits (be sure to remove all the white pith), then cut between the membranes to release the grapefruit segments.
• Arrange the avocado slices around the edge of a large platter. Arrange the grapefruit segments in the center. Spoon the vinaigrette on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.

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.
