This Grapefruit Avocado Salad with Hemp Seeds is the perfect combination of sweet, savory, tart, buttery and crunchy in a gorgeous salad.

the inspiration:

this salad reminds me of my childhood. grapefruit and avocado are a match made in heaven and made the perfect salad paired with hearty chili or homemade tamales at our winter family get-togethers.  along with the usual suspects I’ve made a bright and luxurious hemp seed and pink peppercorn vinaigrette and added crunch with fresh pistachios. fresh mint leaves and flaky sea salt finish off this exquisite salad.

Pink peppercorns and hemp seeds make a beautiful bright vinaigrette.

grapefruit avocado salad ingredients:

  • ruby red grapefruit: the star of the show. 
  • fresh avocado: the supporting act. 
  • radicchio: adds texture and perfect bitterness. 
  • champagne vinegar: a vibrant pop of flavor in the vinaigrette. 
  • good olive oil: use one of your nicer olive oils for this vinaigrette. this is my fave for homemade dressings and also includes the vinegar. 
  • honey: adds a pop of sweetness to accentuate the grapefruit. 
  • pistachios: add a nice crunch factor and pop of color. 
  • pink peppercorns: dried berries from a tree with a fruit and peppery flavor. surprisingly not a peppercorn at all. 
  • fresh mint: the perfect herbaceous finisher to the salad.
