I've decided to give myself an intervention. I will be eating salads from now until Christmas. If I can make them as delicious as this one, I will be more than happy to give up the junk food. I devoured this salad just as hungry sharks usually do.
Pink grapefruit, avocado and feta cheese are the stars in this healthy salad. I supremed my grapefruit in a bowl and then sliced the avocado and placed it in with the grapefruit sections and juice.(the acid in the grapefruit juice keeps the avocado from turning brown) I took a large handful of baby greens and wild arugula and put the grapefruit, feta and avocado on top. I added a small amount of extra virgin olive oil to the juice along with Fleur de Sel and pepper then poured it over the the whole thing. I will absolutely make this again. Maybe next time I will add a thin slice of red onion. YUM!
Ups and downs are part of the cycle of life. I'm also kicking off a healthy eating "tour" from now until eternity! Good luck, I'll be there for support and menu discussions! You can do this!
ReplyDeleteOh my! And avocados are on sale right now, too! My family would love this. Thank you for yet another great idea. I was in need of something new.
ReplyDeletewell if your salads look as good as this from now until Christmas then you won't have a problem... in fact I may join you... what a divine looking salad... I am trying so hard to do this too... but its tough with all the goodies everywhere... nice to see something non-christmassy too! lovely and good luck!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting a different salad and here you are ... just when I need you! Thanks, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so different and unique. I have heard that grapefruit and avocado make a wonderful combination but I've never had it. I think I would love your salad here. Great photo too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderfully fresh and tangy. A great way to prepare for the next bout of festive eating!
ReplyDeleteYou had me until....red onion. *gag* I can't stand raw onion in a salad. Everything else sounds MAHVALOUS DAHLING! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I am not much of a salad eater I am a meat, potatoes and cooked veggie person with an every now and then dash of sweets for desserts ! Never been to fussy on veggie and fruit salads ! But I must addmit it does look good ! Enjoy ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best looking salads I've ever seen. The flavor combination really comes through in your photo. And that feta looks almost creamy---yum! I can't get enough citrus these days, it just tastes so refreshing after binging on all the comfort foods.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! Good thing there's nothing wrong with gorging yourself on salad. :)
ReplyDeleteyum!!! how perfect!! i've seen some great Autumnal salads around...roasted squash with cheese and nuts....yum yum but anything with avocado is to.die.for in my books!
ReplyDeleteReally am intrigued with this combination of ingredients. I love to find an original salad and this one sure fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteRita
That look like a gret salad for summer.yum.
ReplyDeletePerfect combo-nation. Just what is needed is some freshen of a summer salad.
ReplyDeleteOne word ; delish !
ReplyDeleteIsn't so nice to eat fresh food at this time of year?!
So refreshing from the heavy, rich foods.
Have a great week!
Oh my goodness, that looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by this! Just what I needed to see, thank you for a wonderful salad idea

I was just staring at these avocado in my fridge and had no idea what to do with them:) Yum!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, we are sisters separated at birth! I too have eaten everything that is not nailed down since Thanksgiving. I watch my weight all year long, then for some unknown reason, Thanksgiving comes and all heck breaks loose. I always gain weight, but come January, I get on the straight and narrow road to losing weight. Just a vicious cycle! Your salad looks delicious, but I'll save them for the summer time. Right now, it's cookies, pies, stuffing, bread and everything I can stuff in.
ReplyDeleteSalads are one of my favourite meals, this one looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteGirl, ya had me at avocado!!! Love 'em and they're wonderful for your skin with all their wonderful good fats!!!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, your better than I. I'm makin' fudge today!!! Think I'm gonna leave it alone?
God bless and have a marvelous day sweetie!!!
The salad looks so fresh and crisp but unfortunately the 'Meativores' in this house would want a juicy steak to accompany it!
ReplyDeleteI love avocado in salads... ;D
What is it about this time of year that makes us eat so much? I think once you get the carb/sugar cravings going it is hard to stop, and so much food is in front of us right now, I have been over indulging as well. You are stronger than I, as I will wait til the holidays are over. This week I will be baking cookies, oh my.
ReplyDeleteGod, that is a beautiful salad.
ReplyDeleteVelva
Is there snow in New England, Susan ? xo

ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't sooo cold, I'd join you!!

ReplyDeleteReally fabulous salad - super ingredients - super healthy - wonderful

I eat a lot of feta, and am making this for lunch today ;o) I'm glad I visited before I head to the grocery store! Just need an avocado.
ReplyDeleteYour earlier post of Christmas sugar is beautiful!
What a great combination for a beautiful salad! Yum!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious,what a lovely combination of flavours! That would be nice to have on Boxing Day,after the rich food the day before.Hope Bella is enjoying her biscuits! :0)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this looks delicious and our grapefruit is just coming into season! Beautiful photo BTW!
ReplyDeleteOh my does this salad look yummy. I wish I could just eat salads til Christmas. If I had you making them like this for me then I think I could do it. lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you shared the dog treats you made for Bella. I would love to make some of these for Christi's dog.
Hope your doing well and staying warm.
I have another giveaway going on until Friday at midnight so hope you can enter.

this looks so good! thank you for sharing this and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering for this awesome salad and I haven't had my breakfast yet.
ReplyDeleteYou should write a cook book with pics.. you are sooo good with mouth-watering descriptions, Susan.
Warm hugs and blessings,
Pam i am :)
What an interesting combination! I love feta and avocado but don't normally pair them together. The grapefruit sounds so refreshing. I applaud you for trying to eat healthy this time of year :) It can be a challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat salad looks fantastic! Best of luck with the eating plan. I always find it so difficult as I love to bake goodies! :)
ReplyDeleteThis one I am going to try. Pink grapefruits are one of my favorite citrus. I have never heard of the combination before but it makes sense. I hope your frenzy has subsided and you are now enjoying some slow foods in the New Year.
ReplyDelete...scrolling backwards through your posts....and yum! must try this one too...
