Answers: salad recipes with fruit and veggies in them?
while still maintaining that healthy glow?
thanks!
I hate "recipes"--I always use what's on hand or whatever I'm craving.
I LOVE making tossed salads and adding any of the following fruits with my lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.:
melon
apples
orange slices
dried cranberries
sliced pears
grapes
YUMMY--I think I need to go fix a salad for lunch!

Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 medium onion
2 ripe grapefruits
2 ripe avocados
olive oil
Directions:
Dice the onion.
Remove the peel of the grapefruit, section it, and then take the skins off each section. ( If you are going to arrange this recipe beautifully on a plate, try not to break the sections. Otherwise, don't worry about it.)
Slice the avocado into thin, long slices.
Now you can either throw all the diced, sectioned, and sliced ingredients into a bowl and douse it with a high quality olive oil (there really is a difference!) or arrange them beautifully (and integrated!) on a plate and douse each individual plate with olive oil. I would use about a cup of olive oil, more or less depending upon how much you love it, but always err on the side of more.
When you store it all together, the avocado won't get brown because of the acidic grapefruit juices!
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 min.
