The most beautiful ruby-red grapefruit is available in December; use it to make this jewel-like salad. In other seasons, the grapefruit will be smaller and you will need more.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ruby-red or pink grapefruit, peel and pith removed

Repeat process with oranges in same bowl. Transfer to refrigerator. Recipe may be made up to this point 1 hour ahead.
  • Make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil, then canola oil, until mixture is well combined. Set vinaigrette aside.
