I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some herbs or spices. The grapefruit was also a bit too tart for my taste.

This salad was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't really like grapefruit. Otherwise, it was a well-made salad with fresh ingredients.

I've never tried crab and grapefruit together before, but it works so well! The grapefruit adds a lovely tartness that balances out the richness of the crab. I'll definitely be making this salad again.
