Royal Ruby Red Grapefruit Salad
We are celebrating the return of Jen Lilley back to Hallmark Channel in a big and royal way! Jen is starring as character “Ruby” in Hallmark Channel movie “A Royal Setting”, alongside Dan Jeannote. Dan plays Prince Luca, and Ruby is a gemologist who is sent to restore the Crown Jewels. In honor of her character Ruby, Jen and I made a beautiful Spring salad together using ruby red grapefruit, with some other complimentary flavors. This is a salad fit for royalty!
Ingredients:
FOR SALAD:
-1 package mixed greens (I like to use a spinach and arugula mix)
-Pomegranate seeds
-1 Ruby red grapefruit
-Slivered almonds
-1/2 cup farro (cooked and cooled)
FOR DRESSING:
-1/3 cup olive oil
-2 tablespoons honey
-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-Salt and pepper
Directions:
Cook the farro ahead of time. Set aside and let it cool.
In a large bowl, add mixed greens, pomegranate seeds and almonds.
Add the grapefruit slices and farro at the end when you are about to pour the dressing on top so it doesn’t get soggy.
In a salad dressing cruet or mason jar, pour all dressing ingredients in and shake vigorously until everything is well combined. Pour imminently onto salad. Add a few more grapefruit slices and almonds on top to garnish. Enjoy!
