My Favourite Salads
Some of the best salads I’ve ever eaten are those simple ones that take a few minutes to make. I am not really a fan of avocado but every recipe I’ve ever tried with avocado left me wanting more, like this guacamole. The day I made it, I had an aching stomach at the end of day because I’d eaten so much tortilla chips. I would even hate to disclose how much I ate.
For this salad, you can use any lettuce, citrus fruit and nuts. This combination I have here, was excellent. I would do it all over again. If you have some recipes with avocado, please share with me. I would love to incorporate more avocado in my diet. Have a wonderful week ahead

My Favourite Pastime 
Thanks for trying out the recipe. Your photos looks fabulous. What more can I say? Have a wonderful week!!!!
We tried this and all the adults loved it. The children/teenagers were a bit less loving of the grapefruit! Apparently it’s an acquired taste.
Hi
I am glad the adults liked it. Next time you can sub the grapefruit with any other citrus fruits, like tangerine or oranges. It works as well. Thanks for the feedback and do have a lovely weekend!

I am so glad you tried out the salad. This is one of my favourites. Of late I’ve been eating lots of avocado. I wish you a fabulous week.

This salad looks delicious and the dressing is nice and light.
Thank you. It was very delicious!

I am not a fan of avocado! I have tried it several ways and still dislike it. My husband, however, would love this salad!
I neither hate nor love avocado. I can eat it or not eat it and I won’t notice the difference. I used to eat a lot of avocado when I was in school though. Have a fabulous week!
Liz
Oh this looks so good and refreshing…great combination of flavors i think..:)
Thank you!
Liz
Great salad, Liz. I’m sure I’ll try it very soon!
Thank you, Silva.

Looks like a delicious salad, Liz! I love avocado, too. I actually have to be careful buying it, because I can’t control myself around it! Your dressing sounds wonderful, too. I love dressings with apple cider vinegar in them. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks, Shari. I’m happy to see you after a long silence. Hope everything is okay on you side. Have a great week!

I am a fan of avocado and am very tempted by this. For simplicity, avocado on toast with salt and pepper is something I enjoy. I hope you’re well.
Hey Lignum,
Welcome back. I hope you had a great time, wherever you were. Avocado on toast with salt and pepper, that sounds simple and nice. I shall try it. Have a great week!
Liz
Yummy! Looks delicious:)
Thank you!

what lovely colours – I’ll see if I can think of any other great avocado recipes…
Did you think of other avocado recipes? Please swing them my way. Best wishes!

I really love this Sliced Spring Salad with Endive, Cilantro, Radishes, and Feta – http://orangette.blogspot.com.au/2006/04/spring-sliced-and-straight-from-bowl.html – depends whether you like radishes, but the combination of crunchy and creamy and sharp and sweet flavours is really great…
I’ll see what else comes to mind 🙂
It sounds very delicious. I’ve bookmarked it and will make it as soon as I get the ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing the link and have a great evening!
Liz
This looks absolutely amazing! I love the grapefruit – I can almost taste it from here 😉
THank you for liking and tasting, Have a lovely week!
Liz
Love the colors – the creamy avocado and citrus “bite” of the grapefruit – what a nice combination.
Thank you. I love bright colours!
Best wishes!

You must have a direct line camera into my kitchen. We just polished off a snack salad very nearly like this one – mixed field greens, red pepper strips, tomato cubes, avocado slices, and a few black olives – all sprinkled with some raspberry vinaigrette. Meatloaf, barley and beef gravy, collard greens and cornbread for dinner.
Virtual hugs,
Judie
Yours sounds like the top of the charts. I absolutely adore the way you eat, Judie. You inspire me. I need to add some collard green to my diet. Have fun and enjoy the rest of the week!
Virtual Hugs to you too…
