Warm Avocado Halves with Pink Grapefruit and Endive
Recipe from
Vegetarian Times
There's no need to dress up this dish for a pretty presentation--the pale green of the avocado halves along with the deep pink of grapefruit segments make this a feast for your eyes without any extra trimmings. Try the recipe with smooth-skinned Fuerte avocados, which have a firmer, less fatty texture and won't turn mushy when baked.
