Florida Grapefruit, Prawn & Avocado Salad
This classic salad of prawn & avocado has been given a refreshing twist with delicious segments of Florida Grapefruit and a wonderful tangy, sweet and super delicious Florida Grapefruit vinaigrette.  It will make your salad taste like summer! It is the perfect salad for Spring/Summer and picnics and outdoor eating. Florida Grapefruit is a very versatile fruit to give your recipes a taste of summer.  The fruit itself is actually very interesting, it has a much thinner peel than is typical for grapefruit, meaning more flesh, and the flesh is sweeter than regular grapefruit as well, so while lots of people think of grapefruit as being bitter, this isn’t the case with Florida Grapefruit making it a perfect spring/summer ingredient.
