Grapefruit Spinach Salad

"Packed full of good-for-you stuff, a wonderful blend of tastes and textures with a low-fat, tart dressing. **Note: If you currently take cholesterol-lowering medication (statins) such as Lipitor, discuss grapefruit consumption with your doctor! (Studies show that an enzyme in grapefruit interacts with statins, causing an increased & potentially harmful blood level of medication.)"

  1. Like combination. Added cinnamon to a dressing of orange blossom vinegar, and orange olive oil. Used just a bit on each salad and made individual ones for two of us. Love the addition of the water chestnuts and mushrooms. Left the bacon off this time but may add another time. Thank You!
     
  2. Am going to make this for my "girls luncheon", and think I'll sprinkle it and the dressing with sesame seeds. Can't wait to try this dressing! virginia.beadqueen
     
  3. Oh WOWIE, SusieQusie!!! This is a terrifc salad!! I didn't include the orange sectons, but just fresh orange zest over top. And I used turnip chips in place of the water chestnuts--same consistency and crunch. The dressing was perfection! Made for Tag Game.
