Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pink grapefruits
1 medium papaya
2 firm, ripe avocados, cut in half, pitted, and peeled
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Juice of 3 limes
Freshly ground pink peppercorns, (optional)

Steps:

Remove peel and pith from the grapefruit using a sharp paring knife. Carefully cut between membranes to remove segments, and place in a medium bowl. Peel the papaya, cut in half, and remove seeds. Slice into pieces about 2 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch thick. Add to the bowl, and toss to combine.
Slice the avocados lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices and pour the lemon juice over them. Add to the fruit mixture.
In a small saucepan, warm the maple syrup and lime juice, whisking to combine; set aside to cool.
Toss the fruits together, and drizzle with the dressing. Serve seasoned with pink pepper, if desired.
