Grapefruit Arugula Salad

Try this fresh tasting grapefruit salad tonight for a wonderful addition to your evening meal.

Grapefruit Arugula Salad

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pink grapefruit
  • 1 large bunch arugula, (about 4 cups)
  • 1 bunch watercress (about 2 cups)
  • 2 TBS lemon juice
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 tsp prepared Dijon mustard
  • 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & cracked black pepper to taste (use plenty of cracked pepper)
  • ½ TBS coarsely chopped walnuts

Directions:

  1. Peel grapefruit and cut out each section between the membrane.
  2. Prepare arugula by tearing into pieces, washing and drying. Cut off tops of watercress and wash and spin dry along with the arugula. A salad spinner is the best way of doing this.
  3. Mix together dressing ingredients, toss with salad greens and grapefruit sections and top with chopped walnuts.
    Serves 4

I make something very similar to this, except I use jicama cut into matchsticks rather than nuts, and I tend to throw the fruit and jicama in whatever mesclun or field green mix is on hand. I love adding this to meals when I have grapefruit that needs to be used.
