Shrimp Avocado and Grapefruit Salad
Grapefruit's piquant bitter juiciness balanced by French dressing's sweetness and creamy avocado, all adorning succulent shrimp atop a bed of greens...truly, it's a marriage made in heaven! This recipe makes 2 large servings, but can easily serve 4 as appetizers.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup raw honey
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 (8 ounce) package mixed salad greens
- 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
- 10 cooked and peeled shrimp, or more to taste
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced, or to taste (optional)
Directions
- Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, and vinegar together in a bowl. Add diced red onion, salt, and pepper. Place a damp cloth under the bowl to keep from moving; add olive oil very slowly in a stream while whisking. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Prepare plates with a bed of mixed greens. Center avocado slices on plates, surround with grapefruit segments, and top with shrimp. Drizzle generously with honey cider salad dressing and garnish with red onion slices.
