Yum! I do avo with cucumbers and tomatoes. so yum! 

Love that too Devo. Actually, I love avocados with many things, or, all alone with lime juice and salt.  

Avocados are one of the only fruits I'm happy eating with just a little salt and that's it. Of course, I eat them with many other things, but I have lovely memories of grabbing a fingerling avocado off the tree at my grandparents' house, taking it into the kitchen, adding a tiny bit of salt and spooning it out. Most grocery stores carry Haas, but there are a ton of other varieties. I wish I had a baby from their tree. 

Shir- I have not been on FS for 2 months or more. Logged back in today to check on you and others. You are doing great ! What an inspiration. I love grapefruit and avocado together. It must have been your post calling to me to log on. :) Have you ever tried making a dressing out of the lemon/lime with a little Dijon mustard ? For me that is what puts the flavor combination over the top. Lots of recipes also include olive oil but I skip that figuring the avocado had the good fat. Stay safe ! 

Not heard of putting grapefruit with avacado..I'll try it and putting crazycatchicks dressing on it sounds extra good!😋 

Diana - I hadn't heard of it either until someone posted a pic on FS. Usually food pics don't set me off to eat but I couldn't wrap my taste buds around the flavor combination. So I got up and went to the kitchen since I had all the ingredients. I haven't had it in awhile so now thanks to Shir my next trip to the grocery will include red grapefruit !!  

Looks pretty to me! Of course, I always like looking at fresh fruit. 

this looks very pretty, and sounds like is would be bright and yummy, I love trying new and unique flavors, thanks for posting I will try this one for breakfast tomorrow.  

Interesting combo! I’ve had both and love both but separately. I’ll be trying this sometime soon! 🙂 

I think this is gorgeous! 

Looks awesome friend 😋💜💚💛 

I love grapefruit but can't have it due to my meds 

Asmerella, I take my meds at night and I eat grapefruit in the morning; my doctor okayed it, you might see what yours says. Chick, I'll try it with a little mustard tomorrow, that sounds awesome! Kat, how wonderful to just pick it off a tree like an apple; maybe you could check with local nurseries and find one to plant in memory of your grandparents. 

I love grapefruit when I can find a sweet one. You never know what it will be like when you buy it. I usually buy just one and then if it's good I'll go back for more. I often do avocado with chops almonds on top for breakfast with either cantaloupe or grapefruit (or raspberries, banana, blackberries). Love fruit. 

Looks fresh and yummy!! I love avocado!! Yummy 😋 

Fritzy, we get Ruby Reds from the Rio Grand Valley, my all-time favorites. Chopped almonds sounds delicious. Petra, I love avocados all the ways you listed, never tried with Tajin, but I will tomorrow. 

I had read my meds & grapefruit wouldn't mix. After seeing your post Shir I looked it up & it appears I'm OK! I bought a grapefruit today 😀🍊 

I really did like it Petra, thanks for sharing. 💛 

Good for you Sherry, hope you enjoy it! 🌈 

yummy! looks great!
