With a sharp knife, carefully loosen and remove each section, leaving the membrane behind. Squeeze the halves to extract any remaining juice and reserve in a small bowl (you should have about 2-3 tablespoons).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assemble the salad:<\/strong> In a large salad bowl, combine greens, grapefruit sections, toasted walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the dressing:<\/strong> In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, sea salt, pepper, and the reserved grapefruit juice until well combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toss and serve:<\/strong> Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Tips for Success<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Using kale?<\/strong> For tender, less bitter kale, massage the leaves with a bit of olive oil and salt for 1-2 minutes before adding the other ingredients. Romaine or mixed greens can be used as-is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toast your own walnuts:<\/strong> Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. This brings out their natural oils and flavor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ready to make this fresh, healthy salad?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittmandavis.com\/ruby-red-grapefruit\/c\/ft_1001_2\/\">Shop Rio Ruby Red Grapefruit<\/a> from Pittman &amp; Davis\u2014hand-picked at peak sweetness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6383,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[68,221],"cuisine-recipe-category":[53],"cuisine-recipe-course":[29,35,41],"cuisine-recipe-cuisine":[],"class_list":["post-6382","cuisine-recipe","type-cuisine-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-grapefruit","tag-rio-ruby-red-grapefruit","cuisine-recipe-category-snacks-and-sides","cuisine-recipe-course-lunch","cuisine-recipe-course-side","cuisine-recipe-course-starter"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe\/6382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cuisine-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6382"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-category?post=6382"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-course?post=6382"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-cuisine?post=6382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
