I’m a big fan of simple citrusy guac and grapefruit goes especially well with avocados. The tart sweetness along with the slight bitter edge offset the creamy smoothness of the avocados well. Pickling the onions first keep them from overpowering the citrus and the cilantro adds a freshness that rounds out the guac nicely.
1/4 small red onion thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 Tbs.)
1/2 tsp. salt
Juice of 1-2 segments of grapefruit5 segments of grapefruit peeled
1 ripe avocado roughly chopped
1 Tbs. minced cilantro
Juice of half a lime
Combine the first 3 ingredients ahead of time and let the onions “pickle” for at least 10 minutes. Squeeze out the juice with your hands before using.
Crumble the grapefruit up into pieces with your fingers, add the avocados, pickled onions, cilantro and lime juice and stir to combine (the avocado’s should still be chunky). Salt to taste and serve with chips or on top of a grilled white meat fish like Halibut.
