  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 4 cups spinach leaves
  • 2 large red or pink grapefruit,
  • peeled and sectioned
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 large avocado

Preparation

  1. In a cup or small jar, combine the lime juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and fresh ginger. Whisk or shake to mix.
  2. Spread the spinach leaves on two dinner plates, then top with grapefruit sections and sprinkle with edamame. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and use a paring knife to slice the flesh in the shell. Use a spoon to scoop the slices out and place them on the salads.
