Crab Salad With Grapefruit, Avocado and Baby Greens

1 pink or ruby red grapefruit

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 pound fresh crabmeat, picked over for cartilage

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives plus additional for garnish

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 avocado, sliced

4 cups (or 6.5-ounce bag) cut baby Bibb or Boston lettuce

Peel and segment grapefruit over a bowl to catch juice. Reserve 1 tablespoon juice and the grapefruit pieces separately.

In a bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, sugar and reserved grapefruit juice.

In a bowl, combine crabmeat, parsley and chives. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine lettuce with the remaining dressing. Divide on individual plates. Add a scoop of crabmeat salad and surround with grapefruit segments and avocado slices.

Grapefruit is not only loaded with vitamin C, but red varieties also contain the antioxidant lycopene.
