Ingredients
Scale
2 large grapefruits, peeled and segmented
4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, or butter lettuce)
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup toasted walnuts or almonds
1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional)
1 tbsp fresh mint or basil, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the grapefruit by cutting away the peel and pith, then segmenting over a bowl to catch juices.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, vinegar, a tablespoon of grapefruit juice, salt, and pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine greens, grapefruit segments, red onion, and nuts.
Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
Top with crumbled cheese and chopped herbs before serving.
Notes
Use a mix of pink and ruby red grapefruit for added color and sweetness.
Can be made vegan by omitting cheese or using a plant-based alternative.
Chill grapefruit before preparing for an extra-refreshing salad.
