Healthy Avocado Salad Recipe
This spinach, grapefruit and avocado salad recipe is very simple, but absolutely delicious and so, so healthy.
Healthy fruits and vegetables are topped with a dressing that’s quite simple. It does have mayonnaise and some sour cream but you can use light versions if you prefer.
You can even get dairy free versions of each if it’s important to you.
This fruit salad recipe would make a wonderful light lunch on its own served with some fresh crusty bread, or serve it as an appetizer or side dish with something like a quiche or cheese soufflé.
The dressing is a mix of mayonnaise and sour cream with celery and green or red peppers for color and crunch.

Nutrition
Optional:
Sprinkle paprika over the finished salad.
Tips:
- You can also serve the salad in the avocado shell.
- How do you serve an avocado salad, in the skin or out of it? I prefer to take the skin off. I find that when avocados are really ripe they can begin to get small black spots near the skin. I want to make sure any of those spots are removed before eating the avocado. So I remove the skin and make sure the entire half is brushed with lemon juice to prevent it from darkening.
- Make it a meal. Add cooked shrimp or chopped cooked chicken to the salad.
