This was delicious although quite acidic with lemon juice and the grapefruit. I love acidic but for me the ratio was off. I used a Meyer lemon in the salad dressing and a juicy, red grapefruit in the salad. I will make this again and play with the proportions a little. It's good just for me it needs a little fine tuning. Made for Recipe Swap #83 in the Australian forum.Reply

This was a delightful summer salad. I used a Chef John Folse’s plain strained yogurt (local in near N.O., LA). I also used golden raisins that I had on hand. I used the salted/sugar pecans and could not have been more pleased. Like one of the other reviewers I was not sure how the avocados would blend with grapefruit. I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a five star keeper.Reply

I made the dressing to eat with a mango/avocado salad recipe I got on this site. Since I got hungry for a snack after making it, I tossed a cut up apple in it because I overblended and threw a little pumpkin pie spice on it. Really awesome snack and a good way to use extra dressing since I'm the only one in the house that eats light (unfortunately) and I basically have to consume anything I make including fruits and veggies myself. Can't wait to have it on my salad later on, thanks!Reply
