Directions
-
Peel and quarter the avocados, reserving the pits for later use if needed.
-
Coarsely mash the avocado flesh with a fork in a non-metallic bowl.

Set aside any avocado pieces that are too hard to mash easily; you can chop these finely and add them back later for texture.
-
Pour the grapefruit and lime juice into a blender.
-
Add the shallot (or green onion) and 2 sprigs each of parsley and cilantro to the blender.
-
Blend on high until the mixture is completely liquified.
-
Pour the blended citrus-herb mixture into the bowl with the mashed avocado and mix gently to combine.
-
Add the chopped cabbage, broccoli florets, celery, tomato, tomatillos (if using), basil, thyme, and any reserved hard avocado pieces.
-
Stir well until all vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the avocado mixture.
-
Garnish with the remaining reserved cilantro and parsley leaves.
