Shrimp and Arugula Salad with Grapefruit and Avocado Recipe

This salad, courtesy of Earthbound Farm, is a perfect balance of sweet-salty shrimp, tart grapefruit, mellow avocado and peppery arugula. Use any combination of greens, such as arugula, watercress, mache or spring mix.

Ingredients
Vinaigrette:
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper

Salad:
5 ounces baby arugula, watercress or mâche
1 pound medium shrimp, cooked and peeled
2 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions
1. To prepare vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a jar. Close tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
2. To prepare salad, place arugula in a large salad bowl and toss with about half the vinaigrette. Divide greens among 4 salad plates; top with shrimp, grapefruit and avocado. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette. Serves 4.
