Citrus (Grapefruit) Vinaigrette

Submitted by januarybride

"Super easy and super tasty! Revised from a recipe from the Old Orchard Juice website. Note that I used about half the oil and I used canola instead of olive so that the grapefruit flavors could shine through, but that was just personal preference."

I enjoyed this dressing very much and did not find it to call for too much oil. I used fresh squeezed red grapefruit, some really nice chardonnay vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and the rest as called for in the recipe. It makes quite a bit but keeps well in a jar in the fridge. I had it on a vegetable salad haricots, potato, chick peas, onions, cherry tomatoes) early in the week, and on a salad of grapefruit, avocado and red onion and greens today, and it was delicious on both.

Tasty dressing...like you JB, I used less oil than what was called for (maybe 1/2 a cup), then I added a clove of garlic. This makes quite a bit, and as it's a thin dressing a little goes a long way. Nice to have this ready to go in the fridge for salads for the rest of the week. Next time I make this I'll hopefully have fresh grapefruits on hand as I'm sure that would make this really great.
