Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 sesame seeds
1 large bunch spinach (about 1 1/4 pounds), coarse stems discarded and leaves washed well and spun dry
2 grapefruits, peel and pith cut away and sections cut free from membranes

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together vinegar, honey, and mustard and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • In a large heavy skillet cook onion and bacon over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is pale golden and bacon is browned. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring, until pale golden.
  • In a large serving bowl toss together spinach, grapefruit sections, and bacon mixture. Add about half of dressing and toss to combine, adding more dressing if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and young spinach: This will give the salad a more vibrant flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of grapefruit: Different varieties of grapefruit will give the salad different flavors. Try using a mix of white, pink, and red grapefruit.
  • Add other fruits and vegetables: To make the salad more colorful and nutritious, add other fruits and vegetables such as oranges, strawberries, blueberries, or avocado.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to keep the salad from getting too heavy. Try using a vinaigrette or a citrus dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the grapefruit from getting bitter.

Conclusion:

Spinach salad with grapefruit is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The salad is packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, and is also a good source of fiber.
