Butter Lettuce, Grapefruit and Avocado Salad

 

Butter Lettuce, Grapefruit and Avocado Salad

Dressing:
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1-2 tablespoons minced shallot

1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup olive or canola oil
sea salt

fresh ground pepper

 

Salad:
8 large butter lettuce leaves, gently washed and dried
3 ripe avocados, sliced into one inch chunks
3 large Ruby Red and/or pink grapefruits, all peel and white pith cut away, 

segments cut from between membranes

Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. If you like the dressing to be on the sweeter side, add an additional tablespoon or two of honey.  Set aside. This can be made in advance and refrigerated until day of serving. 

Place the cleaned butter lettuce on a tray or on individual salad plates. Fill evenly with grapefruit and avocados. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
