Ingredients
- 2 ruby grapefruits
- 1 Tbs. white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. honey Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Pinch of freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbs. minced fresh basil
- 1 small head radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 jicama, about 1/2 lb., peeled and cut into
- matchsticks
- 2 avocados, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
Instructions
- <b>Prepare the grapefruit</b>
- Working with 1 grapefruit at a time, trim a slice from the top and bottom, cutting through the peel and pith. Stand the grapefruit upright and, following the contour of the fruit, cut away the peel and pith, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh. Holding the grapefruit over a large bowl to catch the juice, cut between the membranes to release each segment. Cut the segments into pieces and set aside in a separate bowl.
- <b>Make the vinaigrette</b>
- Add the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to the grapefruit juice and whisk to combine. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until smooth. Stir in the basil.
- <b>Assemble the salad</b>
- Add the radicchio, jicama and grapefruit pieces to the vinaigrette and toss to coat evenly. Arrange on plates, top with the avocados and serve. Serves 4.
