This looks so so good. I am not allowed to eat grapefruit. Is there another fruit I could use that would taste just as good?
Love love love your site!

[...] I ended up using honey as I don’t normally stock agave nectar in my pantry. (nor do I really know what it is). But I do like Linda’s instructions on how to cook Quinoa, so if you are ever confused make quick reference to her blog. [...]

Never thought of using nectarines or peaches in this…good to know!

I made this salad just now to take to a friend’s house for lunch later. It is really yummy! I had one whole grapefruit and that didn’t yield nearly as much fruit as the recipe called for (I doubled it), so I added a nectarine that I had too. I would have went for Mandarin oranges if I would have had them, but the nectarine worked just great too. I love the dressing, I would use it on other things.

Thanks for the great review, Tammy…this is one of my favorites, hands down!

Yeah…for me, I’m a SUPER RECYCLER and don’t have any qualms about using a product in packaging where the work has been done for me…especially de-membraning a grapefruit.

Linda – I made this last night, and it rocks the house! I don’t even like grapefruit, and it’s fantastic. I will definitely try the mandarin / orange juice version, too. I could turn the dressing up and drink it! It’s just that tasty.

And yes, if I could afford “real produce,” that would be better, but I appreciate tips and tricks for those of us who want the taste, but can’t afford the pleasure.

Quinoa is such a great find! I made it recently as the “pasta” for my beef stroganoff. So very good and packs an extra protein punch!
