Asparagus Grapefruit Salad
1 lb asparagus, steamed, chilled, cut in 1-inch sections
½ c coarsely chopped nuts (I like pecans, lightly toasted)
2 whole red grapefruits, sectioned
3 c salad greens (Good mix is Boston and spinach)
Poppy Seed dressing (about 1/3 cup) Keeps well in refrigerator..
3 T sugar
¼ t dry mustard
¼ t salt
1 ½ T vinegar
1 ¼ t onion juice (from finely grating an onion)
¼ c salad oil (not olive!)
1 t poppy seeds
Poppy seed dressing also good with:
- · Shredded red cabbage, thinly sliced avocado and grapes, halved.
- · Slices of avocado alternating with red grapefruit sections
