Yields1 Serving
 4 cups mixed greens, spinach or leaf lettuce
 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped
 1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented (see note)
 ¼ cup chopped almonds
 3 tbsp olive oil
 1 tbsp champagne vinegar
 1 tbsp honey
 Salt and pepper to taste
1

Toss the mixed greens with the avocado, grapefruit slices, and almond slices.

2

Whisk together the olive oil, champagne vinegar, and honey.

3

Drizzle the mixed greens with the dressing and toss until completely coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4

Notes
To segment the grapefruit, use a sharp paring knife to slice off the top and bottom of the grapefruit. Carefully cut away the skin on the sides to remove all the white pith. Slice in between the segments to remove the fleshy part of the fruit from the pith. This will remove most of the bitterness of the grapefruit.

To make this vegan, substitute agave nectar for honey.
