Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Grapefruits are rich in folic acid. One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid. Avocados are anti-inflammatory in nature, as they contain omega-3 fatty acids which have been proven to reduce inflammation within the body. Those seeking to sop up more oil-based nutrients will want eat avocado, as they help with their absorption. Vitamins A, D, E, and K all fall into this category, and with each also playing a role in reducing inflammation, ensuring that they get absorbed into your body efficiently will aid you in repairing the damage done by the excess insulin that flows through your veins.

Ingredients

1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and cut into supremes
2 oranges, peeled and cut into supremes
2 avocados, peeled and sliced
2 lemons, freshly squeezed
4 cups arugula, washed and trimmed
4 tablespoons Paula Deen Vidalia Onion Poppyseed Dressing

Instructions

In a small bowl, place the peeled and sliced avocados and squeeze the lemon juice over them to prevent browning. On 4 plates, mound the arugula and divide the grapefruit and orange supremes among them. Top with avocado slices. Drizzle each plate with the dressing.
Cutting an orange supreme: Slice off the top and bottom 1/2" of each orange, revealing the flesh. Cutting in sloping strips, use a sharp knife to remove the rest of the orange's skin. Now cut the individual wedges apart into the bowl, leaving behind all pith. You'€™re left with just beautiful pieces of orange flesh. Do the same for grapefruit.
