This delicious grapefruit salad with avocado is a fantastic, fresh side salad recipe!

The bitterness of the grapefruit is offset by the avocado and feta. So, if you find grapefruit overwhelming on its own, this simple recipe will be perfect for you. The creamy avocado, tangy grapefruit, soft feta cheese, and crunchy pepitas make this the perfect salad.

Notes

Storage - the salad will keep for up to four days when stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The avocado might brown a little, so if you are serving it for a dinner party or special meal, I would recommend serving it the day you make it.

Recommended Tools - I recommend using a very sharp chef's knife to segment the grapefruit. It makes it much easier to trim off all the pith.
