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.
