Summer salad with grapefruit, avocado and bacon

Категорія страви

This salad is a re-creation of a similar one that I enjoyed at the Fremont Diner in Sonoma, CA. I am completely in love with the avocado dressing for this recipe; it's naturally creamy without the addition of mayo or something of the sort. And grapefruit, well, I never thought I'd be one to eat it without a pile of sugar on top, or in a [lettuce-based] salad, with bacon no less. (I guess I'm growing up.) It turns out to be a delightful citrus pairing with the avocado, and a nice change of pace from the usual lime. Do I even need to talk about the bacon? For a vegetarian version, I think a finishing sprinkle of Maldon Smoked Sea Salt would give it the little bit of smokey pizzaz that the bacon adds — to be clear, this is just an untested theory. Hopefully you enjoy this salad as much as I do — it tastes like summer on a plate, but is perfect year-round.
