WATERCRESS, AVOCADO AND MANGO SALAD image

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup pink grapefruit juice, reduced to 1/4 cup
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon minced shallots
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper to taste
6-ounces fresh watercress
1 cup diced fresh mango
1 Haas avocado, cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

Place the grapefruit juice in a small nonreactive saucepan and cook until reduced in volume by one-half. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, combine the cooled reduced grapefruit juice, honey, shallots, mustard and garlic and whisk to blend. While continuing to whisk, add the oil in a slow, steady drizzle until fully incorporated. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large salad bowl, combine the watercress, mango, and 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette. Season lightly with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Serve salad with grilled seafood, simple grilled fish, or chicken, drizzled with extra vinaigrette if desired.
