This salad is a great make-ahead lunch. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruit, but I loved it in this salad. It added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have some cooked shrimp in the freezer and this is a great way to use them up.
