Peas & Carrots. Fred & Ginger. Grapefruit & Avocado.

All matches made in heaven. Grapefruit’s tangy bright presence perfectly balances the luscious richness of avocados. Pairing them in their own little salsa will liven up any fish dish, tacos or better yet… Fish Tacos! The combination needs just a few spicy notes to complete the job and you can dip to your hearts content.

Grapefruit & Avocado Salsa

1 grapefruit, washed and dried

1 avocado

1 jalapeno

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced

1 tablespoon cilantro, finely minced

1 lime, zest, optional

1 pinch salt, more to taste

If you have a microplane or other fine grater, start by lightly zesting the grapefruit until you have about a teaspoon of zest. Next, cut off each stem end of the fruit.  Slice, curving down along the fruit until the flesh is exposed. With a paring knife, slice into each segment removing the fruit from the white membranes. Roughly chop any larger pieces. Strain the fruit and save the juice for another recipe or just to drink up yourself- chef’s treat!

Cut the avocado in half and again in quarters. The pit and skin will be easy to remove at this point. Cut the avocado fruit into chunks. Toss with the strained fruit.

Mince up the jalapeno, removing the membrane with the seeds. Add a few seeds if you like it a bit spicier.

Start with adding about half of the jalapeno, ginger, cilantro, lime zest and salt. Add more jalapeno to taste until it is your preferred spiciness.
