Avocado & Grapefruit Cocktail

By SippitySup

This is a cocktail the same way that a shrimp cocktail is a cocktail. It's really more of a salad or a light summer meal.

Ingredients

• 1/2-cup plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 lemons
• 2 avocados, preferably Hass or Fuerte, halved lengthwise and pitted
• 2 grapefruit
• 3/4-teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
• Fresh ground pepper
• 1/4-cup walnut oil
• Lime wedges, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Brush 2 teaspoons lemon juice over flesh of avocados; set aside.

Carefully supreme the grapefruit to remove the peel and pith from grapefruit using a sharp paring knife. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, carefully carve out segments from between membranes. If they are particularly large you may cut the in half crosswise. Transfer grapefruit segments to a small bowl; set aside. Reserve juice in bowl.

Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, the salt, and tarragon to the grapefruit juice; season with pepper.

Whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream. Add grapefruit sections; toss gently just to coat.

Place each avocado half on a plate. Top with grapefruit mixture, dividing evenly. Garnish with tarragon. Serve with lime wedges.
