     I changed a few of the ingredients also. Used a can of butter beans, red kidney beans, mandarin oranges and one whole navel orange and red onion. I added 6 large shrimp cut into quarters, along with a whole avocado. I mixed the lemon juice with a Tbs of honey and fresh ground pepper. Very good! - 4/16/09

     This was really great. And definately the most colourful salad I've had. I also tried it with tangerines and pomelo instead of oranges and lima beans instead of black beans. All variants work great. - 3/8/09

     Since I can keep it at room temperature, I take it to work on my late days and eat it all day long. It's quite tasty! Thank you! - 7/28/08

    wonderful salad but a warning some medications fight with grapefruit so be aware. Check with you drug phamplets or your pharmicist as it interfers with cholesterol drugs and anti-rejection drugs. Be happy and safe. - 4/15/09

     Was fantastic! The onion was a little to much, but even my 2 yr old loved this recipe! - 8/21/08

     excellent base salad that benefited from adding in a lime/honey/olive oil dressing! You could also do orange/honey/oil or a combination. I needed to rinse the beans better ! - 7/8/08

     I made this for a family reunion. It was good. The neat thing was it is to be served at room temperature. The refrigerator usually becomes quite full. Several people said they liked it. My husband did not like it as much but he ate it. - 6/16/08

     I served on a bed of Baby Arugula and wrapped into a Low Carb Whole Grain Tortilla shell, and it was very refreshing yet filling meal. Thanks! :-) - 4/17/08

     Yummy! I "cheated" and used Mandarin oranges and already sectioned grapefruit in a jar from my produce section (rinsed and drained or course!) That means I can have all the ingredients on hand and just worry about getting a good avocado. - 4/15/08
  • CATABOUT
     So fresh and delicious! Eat it all right away, cause it does not keep well. A new favorite for us! - 4/21/09
  • IMREITE
     yummy and so creamy! i didn;t add the onion, instead the other half of avacado.

    I made this again for a potluck at work. i added an extra orange, and som red bell pepper! it would be great with mango! - 4/21/09
  • REDSDAUGHTER
     interesting combination. The second time I made it was without the grapefruit and lemon juice. I used fresh mandarines and the whole advocado..YUM - 5/1/08

     Excellent--all my guests-and I--loved it, it was filling, unusual, presents well. Would be a good lunchtime special treat, too. - 3/1/08
  • SMCCURDY
     I think next time I'd cut grapefruit pieces very small. Green onions would add more flvor than a red onion. - 4/19/09

     This one is saved in my own cookbook. We had it last night without the grapefruit. It will be a great salad to bring to a summer BBQ. - 4/17/09

     I wasn't sure how all of the ingredients would taste together, but I loved it! I cut the grapefruit sections into thirds and orange sections in half. - 4/16/08
