Important Recipe Notes

  • The olive oil and grapefruit juice help maintain the bright green color of the avocado and slow down browning.
    I like to leave some bigger avocado chunks for texture, but you can mash it completely smooth if you prefer.
    Make sure to remove all the white pith from the grapefruit. It can be bitter and will overpower the sweetness of the fruit.
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Press plastic wrap directly against the surface to help prevent browning.
