Pink Grapefruit Stacked Salad
Ingredients
-
6
medium pink grapefruit
-
3
medium white grapefruit
-
1/2
cup apricot nectar
-
2
tablespoons hazelnut oil or walnut oil
-
1
tablespoon snipped fresh mint or 1/2 teaspoon dried mint, crushed
-
1/8
teaspoon salt
-
1/8
teaspoon cracked black pepper
-
4
cups fresh baby spinach leaves or shredded spinach leaves
-
1/2
cup chopped toasted walnuts
-
1/4
cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
Directions
1. Peel the grapefruit, removing all of the white pith. Cut sides from the flesh of each grapefruit to form a square piece (reserve extra grapefruit trimmings for another use). Slice each square crosswise to form four slices. Set slices aside.
2. For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together apricot nectar, hazelnut or walnut oil, mint, salt, and pepper until combined.
3. Line a serving plate with spinach. Stack three slices of grapefruit, alternating colors, on top of spinach leaves. Drizzle with dressing. Sprinkle with walnuts and, if desired, pomegranate seeds. Makes 8 servings.

I made this for New Years Eve for a special dinner party, it was fantastic! It was so pretty, and tasted bright and fresh and light. I used a little frisee lettuce to make it a little more "salady" but the dressing was delicious, and the grapefruit and mint went great. I'll definitely make this one over and over.
