The recipe for the Avocado and Grapefruit Salad sounds great. But the Nutritional Information says it yields 4 servings. The Ingredients list “1 avocado” and “1 grapefruit.” But the Instructions say “Arrange 1/2 avocado per person, 1/2 grapefruit per person…” Either the Nutritional information, the Ingredients, or the Instructions are wrong. Which is it?
Hi Betsy – the nutrition information is correct for four servings. I’ve edited the instructions to be a more clear.
Can I use something other than avocado?
Hi Lea, you can omit the avocado if you’d like.
