Composed Grapefruit Salad with Ginger-Grapefruit Vinaigrette
A Mix of Healthy Lettuces with Ruby Grapefruit Segments Lacquered with a Zesty Citrus Vinaigrette



As you know, I love the flavor and tang of Citrus Fruits!
This simple composed salad takes just minutes to prepare.
Start by whisking the Ginger-Grapefruit Vinaigrette – I like using Red Ruby Grapefruit Juice for its punch of crimson color.
Add all ingredients except oil; drizzle in oil slowly until emulsified.
An easy way to get all the juice from a Grapefruit:
Add 1/2 large grapefruit in a ceramic or glass bowl. Microwave for one minute. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the softened half grapefruit
over a bowl with a fine sieve. I like to add some pulp.
Toss with salad ingredients adding grapefruit segments on top.
Enjoy!

Notes
To Supreme a Grapefruit:
Hold a large red ruby grapefruit and remove the peel with a small sharp knife or serrated knife. Now remove all the white pith, exposed the fruit. Cut on each side of the dividing membrane to release a segment - add to a plate. Continue until you have all the segments (an average grapefruit will have about 11 segments.) Take the leftover membranes and squeeze over a bowl - can use this juice in the recipe.)
