Tomato, Avocado & Grapefruit Salad

My friend Laura loves avocados. So when thinking about a salad to serve with our pan seared fillet mignon, the idea of combining avocado with tomato and grapefruit came to mind. While this recipe was an experiment, I'm happy to report that both Hans and Laura gave it a thumbs up!

Ingredients:
  • 1 Ripe Tomato
  • 1 Ripe Avocado
  • 1 Ruby Red Grapefruit
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • pinch salt
  • dash of pepper
  • honey
Preparation:

Slice avocado lengthwise and remove pit. Using a spoon, remove avocado from skin. Thinly slice avocado and arrange in a fan shape in the center of the serving plate. Cut tomato in half lengthwise. Thinly slice tomato and arrange on plate to match avocado presentation. Peel grapefruit and divide the pulp of one section between four serving plates. Sprinkle pulp over tomato and avocado.

In a small glass, mix olive oil, salt, pepper and juice from one section of grapefruit. Splash over salad. Drizzle honey over salad and grapefruit. Serve cold.
