INGREDIENTS

  • 1 fruit (3-3/4" dia) Grapefruit (Pink and Red)
  • 1 fruit (3-3/4" dia) White Grapefruit
  • 0 1/4 tsp Ground Mustard
  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp, leaves Tarragon
  • 3 3/4 cup Spring Mix Salad
  • 0 1/2 small Red Onions

DIRECTIONS

If you don't have a grapefruit knife to easily remove the segments, use this method: Slice off just enough of the top and bottom of each grapefruit so they can stand upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp chefs knife and working from the top, circle the entire fruit, peeling the skin off and leaving very little of the bitter white pith behind.  Using a smaller paring knife, cut out each segment from the white membrane. Squeeze out any remaining juice from fruit when done. Reserve 1 tablespoon of juice for the dressing and save the additional juice for another use. 
 
  1. Section grapefruits.  Set aside the sections and reserve 1 Tbsp of juice.
  2. Add reserved grapefruit juice to a mixing bowl. Add mustard. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, whisking well, until combined.
  3. Stir in tarragon; add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, set aside.
  4. Add greens and toss gently with grapefruit sections, sliced red onion and salad dressing.
