On a bed of watercress or baby romaine leaves for each salad plate, arrange slices of avocado and grapefruit sections [alternate for best effect] and dress with light vinaigrette!. Posh but simple, good "prequel" for a heavy lamby-rich main course!.!.!.best is that you can prepare the plates beforehand and park in fridge until showtime!. Avocado can brown/discolor if kept over an hour undressed - best to put a spritz of the vinaigrette or a smidge of citrus juice [lime or whatever] to retard the brown!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would just do a simple salad using a mixture of baby lettuces with toasted walnuts along with a drizzle of raspberry vinaigrette, make it more special by tossing on a few raspberries!. Sweet seems to compliment lamb and the salad won't be too hearty and fill everyone up before the main course is served!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
