A few days ago I was craving grapefruit. I haven’t had this craving since the first weeks of my pregnancy and I didn’t know how I was going to curb this craving without eating half of a ruby red. I opted for a light and citrus salad since it was so hot outside and paired it with Asian marinated pork chops. Yum! It was the best salad I have ever made, and I am not kidding you.
Salad Recipe:
1/2 head chopped Romaine
1/2 head chopped Red Leaf
1 Granny Smith Apple, thinly sliced
1 Ruby Red Grapefruit, segmented
1/4 cup Golden Raisins
1 Avocado, cut in chunks
1/4 cup Candied Pecans (I soaked them in water for a minute then tossed lightly with sugar and baked until toasted)
2 stalks of Green Onions, chopped
4 oz. Maytag Bleu Cheese, crumbled
Balsamic Vinaigrette or Citrus Vinaigrette
**Toss all ingredients and lightly dress with vinaigrette. Serve with a protein of choice or with a nice slice of crusty garlic bread! Or both if you’re eating for two! he he.
