I had everything for this salad, but the strawberries (January.... Minnesota....you get the picture), so I just threw in a few clementine sections instead. I also sprinkled the top with just a bit of crumbled Danish blue cheese, just because I had it. Otherwise I made this exactly to recipe and I loved every bite of it. The mint really put the final grace note on it, so DO NOT omit it or be tempted to use dried. I was afraid that the dressing would be too sour, as my grapefruits were very tart, but it was perfect. This gave me a delicious taste of summer during a Minnesota winter....worth its weight in gold! Thanks so much, Cookgirl. I love it!
