Avocado Grapefruit Frisée Salad with Vinaigrette
This first-course idea is another spin-off from both the Avacado and Grapefruit Salad with Lemon Dressing and the Fennel and Orange Salad with Vinaigrette—nothing fancy, but fresh, delicious, and simple to make.
These are three salads I made one week while on vacation. Just some simple ingredients and a delightful homemade vinaigrette. Let these ideas inspire several simple first courses you can make with a few of your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
- Grapefruit, peeled and segmented
- Avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- Frisée or mixed salad greens
- Vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
Make the Vinaigrette: Once you master the basics of a simple dressing, you can whip it up in just two to three minutes. A French vinaigrette consists of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and pepper. You can find the full recipe here.
Prepare the Salad: Thinly slice the fennel bulbs and arrange them on a serving platter. Scatter the orange segments over the fennel.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the fennel and orange slices.
Serve: Add a sprinkle of parsley if desired, and enjoy your first course.
