This is one of those recipes that takes all of about 10 minutes to prep, but comes off as fancy and sophisticated. Great salad if you want to show off while entertaining guests. For a main meal option add grilled salmon or chicken.

Ingredients

  • 1 avocado - peeled , pitted and diced
  • 0.25 cups chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons grapefruit juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 leaf fresh mint , chopped
  • 1 leaf fresh basil , chopped
  • 2.5 cups baby arugula leaves
  • 2 ounces kalamata olives , pitted and halved
  • 2 ounces cherry tomatoes , halved
  • 2 tablespoons freshly shaved Parmesan cheese , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the avocado, red onion, lime juice, grapefruit juice, rice wine vinegar, black pepper, and sea salt in a blender, and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. While the blender is running, drizzle in the olive oil; add honey, cilantro, mint, and basil leaves, and process for a few more seconds to leave the herbs visible as small flecks.
