I love the cool weather combination of grapefruit and avocado in this beautiful, seasonal, colorful and healthy salad. This Grapefruit and Avocado Salad with Lemon Cumin Vinaigrette is so simple—just throw some salad greens in a bowl, arrange with sliced grapefruit and avocado, sprinkle on some crunchy sunflower seeds, and drizzle with a zesty lemon cumin dressing, and you have a fabulous, nutrient-packed salad sure to enliven the darkest of days! Best of all, this completely plant-based, gluten-free 6-ingredient salad is based on seasonal produce, so you can feel good about diving into healthy, vibrant meals without the impacts of produce being shipped from far away. In fact, I have all of the elements of this salad (greens, avocados, citrus) growing in my garden in the fall and winter time.
