Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
Ruby Red Grapefruit is in season and full of health benefits!
Not only are grapefruits in season, but are beneficial for your immune system, high in nutrients, and can boost your metabolism. I added fresh grapefruit with avocado, pumpkin seeds, parsley, and red onion. Top this salad with goat cheese and your protein of choice if you so desire!
