Arugula and Grapefruit Salad

Another recipe inspired by a farm visit, peppery arugula and sweet/sour grapefruit go perfect together in this simple recipe. The hardest part of this recipe is segmenting the grapefruit. To do this, just peel the grapefruit with a knife, cutting away the peel as well as the pith. Remove the individual segments by cutting between segments in a V shape towards the center of the fruit. You can use oranges instead, just add a bit more vinegar to add tartness.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch arugula, washed and dried (chop roughly if using
• large leaves)
• 1 grapefruit, cut into segments
• 1 small handful thinly sliced onion
• Drizzle olive oil
• Drizzle balsamic vinegar
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Chopped pecans or walnuts
• Crumbled feta or blue cheese

Directions

Mix oil, vinegar and grapefruit and onion together, stirring to release some juices. Let sit while you wash and dry arugula. Pour citrus mixture over arugula, tossing to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with nuts and cheese. Serve immediately.
