I love how versatile this salad is. I've made it with different types of citrus fruits, such as oranges and blood oranges, and it always turns out great. I also like to add seasonal fruits, such as berries or peaches, for a refreshing twist.

To make this salad even healthier, I used a low-fat yogurt-based dressing instead of sour cream. It was just as creamy and delicious, but with fewer calories.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the roasted pepitas with sunflower seeds. The salad was still delicious and satisfying.

I made a few tweaks to the recipe to suit my personal preferences. I used a sweeter variety of grapefruit and added a bit of honey to the dressing. I also omitted the cilantro, as I'm not a big fan of its flavor.

For those who enjoy a bit of spice, I recommend adding a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the dressing. It gives the salad a nice kick without being too overpowering.

This salad is a true testament to the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. The grapefruit and lime give it a delightful citrusy kick, while the jicama and avocado add a nice textural contrast. I especially appreciate the addition of the roasted pepita

I've tried many salads in my time, but this Sonoran salad takes the cake. It's so refreshing and flavorful, with a nice balance of sweet, sour, and salty. The grapefruit and lime really shine through, and the jicama adds a nice crunch.
