Healthy Recipe for Diabetes - Avocado and Grapefruit Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette

Ingredients: (Serves: 4)

-          One and ¼ ruby red grapefruit (or about one cup of grapefruit segments)
-          Two medium-sized avocados, ripe
-          One bunch (about six ounces) of watercress, washed and with thick stems removed
-          One tablespoon of almond, olive or walnut oil
-          One and ½ teaspoons of sherry vinegar (or apple cider vinegar if you’d prefer)
-          1/8 of a teaspoon of seasoned salt
-          Two to three drops of hot pepper sauce


Directions:

1. Cut the grapefruit into half and seed them, carefully removing the segments (Save the shells).
2. Cut each avocado in half, peeling and removing the pit.
3. Divide the trimmed watercress amongst four chilled salad plates.
4. Put an avocado half on top of each watercress bunch.
5. Divide the grapefruit segments so they fill the cavities and top the avocado haves.
6. For the dressing, squeeze one tablespoon of juice from the grapefruit shells you saved earlier into a small bowl.
7. Add in the oil, seasoned salt, hot pepper sauce and vinegar.
8. Mix well with a fork or mixing spoon.
9. Drizzle about two teaspoons of dressing over each salad.
