ARUGULA AND ROMAINE SALAD WITH RED GRAPES
I looked into my refrigerator to see what I had...and the ingredients jumped to my imagination. I thought: I think this has to taste good and go well with my baked grouper dinner...and it was not only good but great! The mild bitterness of the arugula and the sweetness of grapes and pickled veggies is a perfect combination. A cool crisp pinot bianco is the perfect match.

Tips:
- Choose the right grapefruit: For the best flavor, select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
- Segment the grapefruit properly: To segment a grapefruit, cut off the top and bottom. Then, score the grapefruit from top to bottom, following the natural curve of the fruit. Be sure to cut deep enough to reach the flesh, but not so deep that you cut through the skin. Once you have scored the grapefruit, use your fingers to gently pull the segments apart.
- Use fresh, crisp romaine lettuce: Romaine lettuce adds a nice crunch to this salad. Be sure to use fresh, crisp lettuce for the best flavor.
- Thinly slice the red onion: Red onion adds a sharp, pungent flavor to this salad. Be sure to thinly slice the red onion so that it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
- Use a light dressing: A light dressing will help to brighten up the flavors of the salad without weighing it down. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and honey is a good option.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The grapefruit segments will start to lose their flavor if they are left to sit in the dressing for too long.
Conclusion:
This grapefruit, romaine, and red onion salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For a more tart salad, use more grapefruit segments. For a sweeter salad, add a little bit of honey to the dressing. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
