This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge and this is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this salad. The grapefruit flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I've never been a big fan of spinach salads, but this one changed my mind. The grapefruit added a nice tartness and the poppy seed dressing was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again!
