The best thing that's happened lately

Oh, winter citrus: How can I possibly begin to tell you how much you mean to me right now? How could I fully convey my appreciation for the zingy kiss of your bitter-sweetness? The refreshing snap of your bright pink or orange meat? The lovely little pizzaz you add to, oh, you know, everything?

Like a brilliant salad of apples, onion, avocado, ginger—and grapefruit.

Glorious grapefruit. Beautiful grapefruit. And the perfect avocado, just the butteriest thing on earth. With a tiny punch of vinegar, the warmth of the ginger, the bite of the onion, and the sweet crisp apples…

What are you waiting for? You need this. It's a bowl full of winter-blues buster. I promise.

1 med grapefruit, segmented plus juice 1 apple, cored and diced medium 1/2 onion, sliced thin 1 tsp white vinegar 1/4 tsp ground ginger salt + pepper to taste 1/2 avocado cut into 1/4" cubes

In a medium bowl, toss to combine all ingredients except avocado. Chill for an hour, and add avocado just before serving, stirring gently to mix in among other ingredients.

(To make a full meal of it, you might could toss some cubed firm tofu into the mix, drained but otherwise unadulterated: The cool and mellow tofu would be a lovely foil to the rest of the flavors hanging out here.)
