Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red grapefruits
6 cups about 5 ounces baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into crescents
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola (optional)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Steps:

  • 1. To make dressing, mix together honey, vinegar, and mustard. Using a wisk, add oil in a slow stream and mix well. Stir in poppy seeds. This makes about a cup of dressing.

  • 3. Gently arrange spinach on individual plates. Top with sliced avocado and grapefruit sections. Drizzle 1 tablespoon dressing over each salad. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and gorgonzola, if desired.
