Grapefruit Salad is a bright, refreshing mix of juicy grapefruit segments, crisp greens, and a tangy-sweet dressing, perfect as a light starter or side dish.

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

  1. Prepare the grapefruit by cutting away the peel and pith, then segmenting over a bowl to catch juices.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, vinegar, a tablespoon of grapefruit juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine greens, grapefruit segments, red onion, and nuts.
  4. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently to coat.
  5. 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.
