I am in a lazy summer mood.

But I still want to bring delicious food to the table. It makes me happy to present meals that are not only tasty, but are also great looking.

This Avocado and Grapefruit Salad is just such a creation.

Grapefruit have a very bright taste. They are a little bit tart which really lends itself nicely to the rich and creamy, full mouth taste of avocado. Together they create a salad that satisfies the palate on many levels.

Grapefruit is quite a surprising ingredient to me. It pairs effortlessly well with so many fresh flavors. Which is why it makes a great addition to any salad. I used tarragon as my herb of choice in this salad, but you could try thyme, basil or mint even with equally good results.
