Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Baby spinach
- 2 Grapefruit
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Almonds (sliced and toasted)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the baby spinach. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Peel and segment the grapefruits: slice off the top and bottom ends, then carefully cut away the peel and pith. Using a paring knife, slice between the membrane to extract the segments. Set the segments aside and squeeze any remaining juice into a small bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (about 2 tablespoons), finely grated ginger, olive oil, honey, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the grapefruit segments and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl of spinach.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the toasted sliced almonds over the salad for a crunchy finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, vibrant salad!
