Michael's Grapefruit, Avocado & Kalamata Salad ~ adapted from the Ron Paul Family Cookbook!
Jim and I recently had the great honor to have dinner with Dr. Ron Paul and his lovely wife, Carol, while they were in Philadelphia. Two of the most humble, genuine and inspiring people we've ever met, they're the type of rare individuals who inspire greatness in everyone they touch. I am a better person for knowing them as they're the epitome of excellent role models in every sense.
Carol Paul was kind enough to share a few of her favorite recipes from the Ron Paul Family Cookbook! Of course, I've wasted no time delving into them.
Grapefruit, Avocado & Kalamata Salad is a gorgeous, refreshing salad perfect for a dinner party or a light summer lunch. A delightful blend of suculent sweet grapefruit supremes, unctuous salty olives and luxuriously rich avacado all dressed up in olive oil & lime!
This beautiful salad now has an extra special place in the Porter Family Cookbook as well:)
