Fruit Salad Recipe

Avocado, Grapefruit, Oranges Enhanced With ...
A Delicious Avocado Mint Vinaigrette Dressing

Great color - of course. This somewhat unusual Fruit Salad Recipe uses avocado, grapefruit and oranges all brought to a happy union with an Avocado Mint Vinaigrette dressing.

Of course, visual appeal is a wonderful "plus," but this salad recipe is also delicious and nutritious.

The natural antioxidants and fiber found in a fresh fruit salad are a joy to your body and help keep it functioning well. And if you are a carbohydrate counter, this fruit salad has approximately 17 1/3 grams of carbs, assuming 6 servings. If you make 8 portions from this recipe, you're down to only 13 grams!

This recipe is not difficult, but to make the secret restaurant recipe for the avocado vinaigrette you'll first have to make a raspberry vinegar (recipe below) and allow the vinegar to "stand" for several days at room temperature. If you'd prefer to purchase a quality raspberry vinegar many larger grocery stores have it available.

Enjoy your healthy, delicious, colorful Fruit Salad and the company of those you share it with!
