Crab, avocado and grapefruit? Oh yes!

My favorite salad at the moment is this Crab, Avocado, and Grapefruit Salad that I discovered in a cooking magazine. Paired with a homemade grapefruit-tarragon vinaigrette, it's SO delicious! And it is a bright and bold salad that will remind you of summer and promises to help you to surrender your winter blues! Refreshing, delightful and tickling your tastebuds at just 257 calories a serving.
