Recently the California Avocado Association via Foodbuzz offered to send me some of their awesome Avocado's to try. They arrived carefully packed and are absolutely gorgeous! They included an awesome little tool which makes cutting and removing the meat of the Avocado a breeze, Thank you!
I had seen the Avocado, Grapefruit and Feta salad all over the food blogs for months and finally decided to make it myself. The creamy Avocado with the tart Grapefruit and one of my favorite cheeses all worked well together. I will be making this again and again.
I do think this would be good with grapes, purple onion or perhaps some nuts, maybe next time!
1 Avocado, seeded, skin removed and cut into squares
1 Del Monte Grapefruit Cup (drain and reserve juice)
2 to 3 ounces Feta Cheese
Dressing:
½ cup champagne vinegar
3 tablespoons of the reserved Grapefruit Juice
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

I bet the colors were very pretty together, and the dressing sounds devine!
YUM!! I want them to send me some. My favorite fruit!!!
Delicious salad in a glass looks elegant, I love, I love the ingredients, big hugs.
What a tasty and flavorful salad... it looks and sounds wonderful Cheryl.
Great minds think alike! I just made a bean salad using avocado. I love avocado in salad. This looks great Cheryl, love the feta in it too!
The dressing sounds wonderful no matter what salad it's crowning! Use of the grapefruit and avocado is genius!
My mother always tried to grow avocado trees from her pits and failed. I pointed out to her that maybe it's because avocados come from California, and NOT snowy Connecticut!
this is just gorgeous, i love the combo of food in this dish, i must have it!
hope you've been having a good summer cheryl!
Cheryl, this looks wonderful and perfect for a summer's nights. You ask about the rhubarb - it is a judgment call. If it is old and gnarly I would recommend it. If you have younger stalks there is no need. One of the things I've found is that peeled rhubarb loses color. It is a shame to make this and not see the bits of red in it. Have a great evening. Blessings...Mary
How lucky you are!! I adore California Avocados; they are one of my favorite avocado brand. :-)
Such a gorgeous salad. It has everything I like...just not a big rhubarb fan.
I'm obsessed with avacado!
Just remembered--my MIL chopped up sweet yellow baby tomatoes once with avacado and Italian salad dressing--it was SO good!
there's nothing to describe this for me other than refreshing. what a colorful and flavorful combo!
Great post! Keep it up the good work and also keep posting.
