Ingredients

1. 4 red grapefruits
2. 1 tablespoon tamarind concentrate
3. 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
4. 1 tablespoon sugar
5. 1/2 teaspoon Asian fish sauce
6. 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
7. 1/2 cup canola oil
8. Salt
9. Tabasco
10. 4 Hass avocados, cut into 1-inch pieces
11. 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
12. Two 14-ounce cans hearts of palm, drained and sliced 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal
13. 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves

1. Using a sharp knife, peel the red grapefruits, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a cutting board, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Cut the grapefruit sections into bite-size pieces.
2. Squeeze the grapefruit membranes over a small bowl and reserve 1/4 cup of the grapefruit juice. Whisk in the tamarind concentrate, fresh lime juice, sugar, fish sauce and cumin. Whisk in the canola oil in a thin stream. Season the salad dressing with salt and Tabasco.
3. Transfer the grapefruit pieces to a large bowl. Add the avocados, onion, hearts of palm, cilantro and dressing. Toss gently and serve right away.
