I first thought about making this recipe for the Eating the Alphabet Challenge but thought it was too easy/simple. Plus, I've already made something similar before. But I love grapefruit and avocado so I ended up making this to serve with the Pepperoni Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. I thought it would be nice to have something nice and light. Effort wise though this salad probably took more time to prepare than the sandwiches! Segmenting a grapefruit is not something I do very often and am not very good at, as seen in the photo below! My husband and I enjoyed the salad a lot. The kids are not avocado fans though and wanted to only eat the grapefruit. I ended up quartering the recipe knowing that the kids probably wouldn't be big fans. I didn't want leftovers because I didn't think they'd hold up very well. I'd definitely make this again though for a nice, light side. Especially over the summer when it's hot and I don't want to turn the oven on, I think this would make a great side for something barbecued on the grill!
