I love avocadoes! Not sure though if I want them with graperfruit! But the photos make them look apetizing so might as well give this combo a try. Thanks MM!

If you have JAmes McNAir’s cookbook, MM, try the pasta with the uncooked avocado tomato relish. it is so refreshing, and excellent if I may say so. I make it every summer when it is scorching hot outside. The sauce is similar to pico de gallo sans the cilantro and sub basil leaves instead. For the acid, you can use red wine vinegar if you don’t have balsamic. Add some toasted pine nuts. Be generous with the cubed avocado. I mash up some to add creaminess to the spaghetti and the rest all cubed. For the cheese, I have used torn burrAta and sometimes feta. For those in my neck of the woods looking for good burrAta, Cioffi’s on Hstings has the best burrAta. Phone ahead first and ask if they have the burrAta flown in from Italy in stock.

Joey from 80 breakfast also has pasta with avocado sauce. Excellent as well!

There is a variant of this I really like – watermelon and avocado with some acid in the vinaigrette (lemon or lime), cilantro and lovely ground black or pink pepper.
