You should try entering this in the Rio Star Challenge. There is $5,000 in total prizes up for grabs. Just use Rio Star Grapefruit, they are sweeter than the ruby reds and in season right now.

Thanks for the suggestion, justex07! Unfortunately, I did a search online for this recipe (the rules for the contest state it must be entirely original to you and never before published ANYWHERE) and it unfortunately was published in a magazine somewhere AND online, so no joy. I got the recipe from my grandmother, who must have seen it in the magazine, since she was well before the tech revolution that brought us the internet! But truly, I thank you for the thought and the suggestion!

I recently had a delicious green salda at a local restaurant with a fresh fruit and a citrus vinaigrette. Decided to check out this site to find some combinations for the dressing as it was delish----thanks for sharing your post. Best wishes from Buffalo, NY.

Try Rio Star Grapefruit for a sweeter flavor. Oh and for tips on how to section a grapefruit go to the bottom of this page, there is a really great diagram.
