Ingredients
Preparation
-
Prepare the snow peas: Blanch the snow peas in a pan of boiling salted water for about 2 minutes, until they are slightly tender but still crunchy. Drain them and immerse them in a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
-
Prepare the grapefruit: Peel the grapefruits raw and remove the segments (segments without skin), avoiding the membranes. Reserve the supremes and collect the juice in a bowl.
-
Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, then cut the flesh into thin slices.
-
Prepare the vinaigrette: In the bowl with the grapefruit juice, combine the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper and mix well. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
-
Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the snow peas, shrimp, grapefruit segments and avocado. Add the chopped red onion and sweet red pepper rings if you want a spicy touch.
-
Add the vinaigrette: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
-
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the salad with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
