Grapefruit Avocado Salad

Now that summer is finally here (!) and the days are heating up, I thought it was the perfect time to try out some light, refreshing citrus salad recipes.

While it might seem like a strange combination, avocado and grapefruit are one of my favorite pairings. The creaminess of the avocado contrasts with the brightness of the grapefruit flavors, which add just the right amount of tang to make this salad different and interesting.

I hope you enjoy, and happy summer!
