Avocado & Grapefruit Salad (Aka Friendly Flavor Fusion)

Submitted by twissis

"This is another recipe from the "1 of a Kind" cookbook of the Junior League of Mobile, AL. When SusieQusie & I talked about this recipe, she told me I might be a little too fusion-friendly, but it still intrigued me. I liked all the flavor elements & it clearly was an easy fix, so I decided to enter it. Grapefruit is hard to find here, so I hope another fusion-friendly chef will give it a try & validate my fusion-friendly status. Enjoy! (Time does not include time for dressing to chill)"

Well twissis, you and I are delightfully fusion-friendly and the rest of "them" are just...not as palate-adventurous as we. :-) This salad is delightful.

This was a really tasty salad! I made 2 minor changes....strawberries are not so good here right now so I used about 1/4 of the specified amount of strawberry preserves and less sugar. I also added some cooked crumbled bacon and enjoyed the salty contrast to the sweet fruit/dressing and creamy avocado. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
