- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh grapefruit juice

Grapefruit Avocado Salad
- 1 medium grapefruit
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
Instructions
- Add all dressing ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add a teaspoon or two of water to thin out the dressing if needed.
- Use a large, sharp knife to cut the peel and pith off the grapefruit. Cut between the membranes to separate the grapefruit segments.
