GRAPEFRUIT AVOCADO SALAD

1 grapefruit

2 avocado

1 romaine hearts (or 1 large romaine)

2 T. slivered or sliced almonds

2 T. cilantro

Separate the grapefruit sections out from the skins and section membranes and break them in 1/3rds.  Chop the avocado into 1/2 inch chunks.  Chop the romaine lettuce into 1/4 inch ribbons.  Toss all of the above lightly together.  Try to not mash the avocado.

Pour the following over the salad:

2 T. maple syrup

1 T. lemon juice

1/2 t. salt

 Mix together lightly, again trying not to mash the avocado.

 Make this salad just before you eat, otherwise the avocado will brown.
