INGREDIENTS
- 1 Onion (large, chopped)

Heat olive oil in a large heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and shallots and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, broccoli, zucchini and dried thyme.

To serve, ladle into warm bowls and top with basil and parmesan.
Avacado-Grapefruit Salad w/ Creamy Vidalia Onion Dressing
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Sweet onion, small (Vidalia or Walla Walla), chopped

- 2 Avocados, halved, peeled, thinly sliced
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 Heads Bibb lettuce

- 2 Grapefruits, peel and pith removed, cut into sections

- 3 T Vinegar
- 1⁄2 t Celery seed, whole
- 1⁄4 t Garlic powder
- 1⁄2 t Mustard, dry
- 3 T Silk Original
- 1⁄2 t Black pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare dressing: Boil 2 cups water in a small saucepan, add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes. Remove onions from water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of ice water to quickly cool. Use slotted spoon to remove from ice water and place blanched onions in a blender. (Blanching the onions increases their sweetness.)
Add remaining dressing ingredients to the blender and blend until completely smooth, about 3 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Chill. Makes 1 cup dressing.
To prepare salad: Arrange lettuce leaves on 4 chilled plates, drizzle with several tablespoons of dressing and arrange avocado slices, grapefruit sections and toasted almonds on top of salad. Season with salt and serve with extra dressing on the side.
Serves 4.
