The acidity of the citrus goes well with the creaminess of avocado. We love this salad for a refreshing breakfast, a light snack or a even a heathy dessert.

Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the juice to another bowl. Add the zest, shallot and vinegar; let the dressing stand for 10 minutes. Season the avocado with salt and arrange on plates with the grapefruit sections. Stir the oil into the dressing; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle onto the grapefruit and avocado, garnish with the chervil and serve. Originally appeared: November 2010 Rate It Print
