Avocado, Grapefruit And Pine Nut Salad Recipe

ingredients

1 head tender leaf lettuce, such as butter or Boston
1 avocado, cut into bite-size pieces
1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 cups cooked white-meat chicken, cubed or torn into bite-size shreds (optional)
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce, regular or reduced-sodium
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon dark (roasted) sesame oil
salt, to taste

directions

If using chicken, about an hour or so before adding it to the salad, spoon a little of the dressing over the meat and marinate briefly in the refrigerator. For a lighter dressing, catch any juices when you section the grapefruit and whisk them into the dressing.

Wash and dry lettuce, then tear into bite-size pieces. Place in a large salad bowl. Add avocado, grapefruit sections, pine nuts and, if using, the chicken.

Toss together vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger and oil; salt to taste. Pour over salad and toss lightly. Serve immediately.
