This salad is springtime in a bowl!
I invented this salad a few weeks ago and know it’s something my mamas and other vibrant readers will enjoy too. The balance of sweet and tart is fantastic, and I always love to share healthy healing food inspiration. By the by, I measure nothing, so my recipes are generally just lists of ingredients with a few instructions. Adjust it all until it’s delicious, and dig in!
Grapefruit, Avocado, Fennel Salad
- First I section one or two grapefruits into a bowl, when I’m left with the inside membranes I squeeze the remaining juice into my Vitamix.
- Next I use my mandoline (not necessary, but makes it very quick and easy) to slice a fennel bulb, and some red onion into the bowl with the grapefruit sections.
- To that I add baby lettuce. Any kind is fine, and arugula is great as well.
- To the juice in the vitamix I add olive oil, salt and pepper, and then either honey, agave nectar, or a couple of dates. I may add a splash of apple cider vinegar as well depending on how much grapefruit juice I had. Now blend, taste, and adjust until it’s perfect for you.
- I pour that over the salad and mix.
- On top I add avocado slices and a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds. Lately I’ve been enjoying a spicy raw version.
That’s it! This is sunshine (and a ton of nutrition) in a bowl, enjoy!
