Not all salads revolve around lettuce and the Avocado, Grapefruit, and Pomegranate Salad from Pepper at Frugal Cuisine is a perfect example of this fact. The salad is very simple - only one grapefruit avocado, pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of extra grapefruit juice - but very elegant. Coincidentally, the red and green colors of the salad and the jewel-like look of the pomegranate seeds make this an incredibly festive dish and ideal for the holidays, especially if you live in California or somewhere it is easy to get avocados year-round.
The creamy avocados balance out the sharp flavor of the grapefruit, while the pomegranate seeds add a much needed crunch. A sweet grapefruit will work best here, so if yours is very bitter, you might want to use half of an orange to round out the flavors of the salad.
This salad would work well served on its own, but could also be used as a sort of relish for fish or chicken if you diced up everything into small pieces.

Another great addition to this salad is papaya. The subtle sweetness really adds a good flavor component!

it looks fantastic! I would perhaps add a bit of sliced almonds to it for texture and a bit of white color. the greatest part f this recipe is the utter simplicity of it, which makes it easy to interchange or add to.
