Salad of Curly Endive, Avocado, Grapefruit, and Fennel
- 8 cups torn curly endive (1 large head or 2 small)
- 2 fennel bulbs (1 1/2 cups sliced)
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 large avocado
- 1 1/22 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons fruity green olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large pink or red grapefruits
- Wash the curly endive well, tear it into bite-sized pieces, and spin it in a salad spinner or use kitchen towels to remove excess moisture.
- Wash and trim the fennel bulbs, cut them in half lengthwise, and slice very thinly.
- In a large salad bowl, toss together the endive, fennel, green onions, and cilantro leaves.
- Halve and peel the avocado, slice it, put the slices in a glass dish or bowl, and immediately pour the lemon juice over them.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the salad greens, add the avocado and lemon juice and a little salt and pepper, and toss the salad very gently with your hands until everything is well combined and lightly coated with dressing.
- With a very sharp knife, slice the peel off the grapefruits, cutting away all the white pith, and then pull them apart into sections, peeling away the membranes.
- Scatter the grapefruit sections over the salad and serve.
