GRAPEFRUIT VINAIGRETTE WITH GREENS OR BROCCOLI



Grapefruit Vinaigrette With Greens or Broccoli image

I came across a grapefruit vinaigrette, served with stuffed beet greens, in Anya von Bremzen's "The New Spanish Table" and have adapted it. I loved the idea of this vinaigrette as an accompaniment to greens, such as chard or beet greens, but my favorite is broccoli.

TOSSED GREEN SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT-POMEGRANATE DRESSING



Tossed Green Salad With Grapefruit-Pomegranate Dressing image

A wee bit of sprucing up brings this salad to center stage on your picnic or dining table. Instead of using Ocean Spray Ruby-Pomegranate Grapefruit juice as indicated in the original recipe, I substituted freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and pomegranate molasses (aka pomegranate syrup).

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 ruby red grapefruit, juice of, large
