Ingredients

1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon whisked egg white (from 1 large egg)
3 ruby-red grapefruits
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons almond oil
4 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or grapeseed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 heads Bibb or Boston lettuce, outside leaves discarded, inner leaves washed well and dried
3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh herbs, such as parsley or mint, or a combination

Steps:

Sesame Crunch:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine almonds, sesame seeds, coriander, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Add egg white and stir to combine. Spread mixture into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast, stirring once, until golden and crunchy, about 12 minutes. If sticking to pan, scrape up with a spatula, then let cool completely. Crunch can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
Salad:Remove peel and white pith from grapefruits. Slice 2 into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Hold remaining grapefruit over a bowl and cut between membranes, allowing segments to fall into bowl. Squeeze juice into bowl.
Whisk together mustard, vinegar, 2 teaspoons juice, and coriander. Gradually whisk in both oils until thick and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
Toss lettuce with 1/4 cup dressing; season with salt and pepper. Serve with avocados, grapefruit slices and segments, herbs, and sesame crunch, drizzled with more dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. I had some oranges and grapefruits that were about to go bad, so I used them in this salad and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of citrus fruits, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sesame crunch really balances out the sweetness of the citrus.
