MAPLE CITRUS DIJON SALAD DRESSING

I stumbled upon this lovely, delicate salad dressing on a blog called Happy, Healthy, Life. Lots of raw food recipes, vegan, vegetarian. This dressing is very nice on tender baby spinach greens. I like to add some honey goat cheese and toasted walnuts.... When entering this recipe it wouldn't let me also show the substitution for the grapefruit juice .... if you don't want to use grapefruit you can substitute 1/2 orange plus 1/2 lemon (both freshly juiced)
