- Wash the cucumbers and cut into small cubess about ½" (1cm) square. Zest the grapefruit and one orange, then peel the grapefruit and the oranges and removed the segments making sure that no membrane remains. Place the fruit segments into a bowl along with the roast almonds then chop the mint and chives and add to the bowl. Add in the zest from the grapefruit and orange, then mix well.
- Create the dressing by mixing the vinegar, honey, olive oil, grapefruit and lemon zest together, along with a pinch of salt. Mix well (or whisk) then taste and adjust to your own preference.
- Remove the stones and the skin from the avocados and cut into small dice about ½" (1cm) square. Mix into the salad the drizzle over enough dressing to coat the ingredients. Top with any additional herbs or almonds and serve immediately with warm bread,
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Make sure to serve your Avocado Cucumber and Grapefruit Salad straight away. Once the salad dressing has been added, the ingredients will begin to deteriorate.
