This works well either as an appetizer or as a main dish. You can plate this salad in individual portions for a beautiful presentation.

Try one bite of this and you will not put your fork down! The combination of the grapefruit’s tartness and the tangy sweetness of the citrus dressing works perfectly with the mild flavors of the avocado and greens. The salmon is just the right finishing touch.

4 slices of salmon fillet (1½” wide), skin off
salt, for sprinkling
pepper, for sprinkling
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4-5 scallions, thinly sliced
1½ bags of mixed greens (such as arugula or romaine)
2 avocados, sliced
2 Ruby Red grapefruits, segmented

Dressing:
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener
