Avocado Fruit Salad

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1/2 cup Walnut Oil
1/3 cup Raspberry Vinegar
Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Minced Fresh Herbs of your choice
Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves
4 medium Red Grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
2 medium Avocados, peeled, seeded, sliced lengthwise
2 medium Papayas, peeled, seeded, sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup toasted chopped Walnuts, or other toasted nuts

 
   
Preparation:  
   

For the dressing, combine the walnut oil and raspberry vinegar in a
screw-top jar. Cover and shake well. Chill dressing in the refrigerator
for at least 1 hour.

Line 8 salad plates with Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves. Top with grape-
fruit sections, avocado slices and papaya slices. Sprinkle with toasted
walnuts. (If desired, and if they are available, sprinkle the salads with
fresh raspberries as well.) Shake the dressing well, season to taste with
salt and pepper, and whisk in the herbs. Distribute the dressing evenly
over the salads. Makes 8 servings.
