How to Make Avocado Pink Grapefruit And Mache Salad
- **Make the Dijon Vinaigrette:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (we recommend Trader Joe's with white wine), 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh pink grapefruit juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- **Prep the Grapefruit:** Peel and section one pink or ruby grapefruit, removing all membranes for a neater presentation (or halve the grapefruit and scoop out sections for a quicker method).
- **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, gently toss 1 cup of mache (or substitute with your favorite lettuce or mixed greens) with 1 ripe avocado, sliced or diced.
- **Dress and Serve:** Add the grapefruit segments to the bowl. Pour the Dijon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine. Season with salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
- (Optional) Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
