01
Step 1
Start by mixing together the mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the diced red onion, then season with a bit of salt and pepper. To make the dressing nice and smooth, place a damp towel under the bowl to keep it steady, and slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if it needs a little more punch.

Step 2
Lay out some mixed greens on your plates as a fresh base. Arrange the avocado slices in the center, then tuck grapefruit segments all around them. Pile the shrimp on top, and finish by drizzling the dressing generously over everything. Add a few extra red onion slices for a bit of crunch and color. Enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within one day for best freshness. Keep the dressing separate if possible to prevent the avocado from browning. If mixed, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can help maintain the color.
