SHRIMP AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE



Shrimp and Avocado Salad With Grapefruit Vinaigrette image

This is a light, refreshing salad I created to cope with the summer heat. I really like the combination of tart grapefruit with buttery avocado and crunchy almonds. The shrimp adds enough protein for this to be considered a meal. Since it's summer, I tossed the shrimp on the grill for an added smoky flavor, but shrimp sautéed in a little olive oil would be just as delicious. The dressing is very light and just enough to tie the whole salad together. My grapefruit was fairly sweet, but if yours are too tart, you can always add a little honey to the dressing.

Provided by Diet It Up

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 ruby grapefruits
1/4 cup ruby red grapefruit juice (reserved from cutting fruit segments)
1 lime
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper
2 avocados
1/2 cup slivered almonds
6 ounces Baby Spinach

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Toss the spinach and grapefruit segments with the dressing.
