Salad with Grapefruit and Pine Nuts

I love this salad combination, how the buttery pine nuts and juicy, sweet grapefruit come together. The lettuce adds a great crunch and the goat cheese baguettes add a creamy bonus.


Salad with Grapefruit and Pine Nuts

4 servings

2 t vinegar (your choice, but I used balsamic)
1 t fresh lemon juice
1 t Dijon mustard
3 T olive oil
a head of lettuce (again, your choice of variety)
1/4 c pine nuts, toasted
1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
salt and pepper
a baguette (optional)
fresh goat cheese (optional)

In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and olive oil. Toss lettuce, pine nuts, and grapefruit in a large bowl and add vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with toasted baguette slices topped with goat cheese.
