Turn up the heat

Winter isn't just about snow boots, wooly sweaters and one big steaming bowl of soup after another. It's also about sneaking away from intermittent weather to a far away tropical paradise. There is nothing like a sandy beach in the winter; it makes it just that much better.
In honor of our upcoming trip to Florida I put this salad together earlier in the week. The buttery avocado and clean taste of grapefruit are a refreshing change from other heavier fall/winter fare and are a definite sign of warmer days to come!
Fresh citrus salad
1 pink grapefruit
1 haas avocado
50 grams of hearts of palm
fruity olive oil
Start by cutting away the skin of the grapefruit. Be sure to remove all the pith and then cut into sections keeping only the flesh of the fruit.
Slice the avocado lengthwise and slice the hearts of palm into little rounds.
Mix all together, dress with olive oil and serve!
Makes 2 small or 1 large portion
