    It looks like the dressing is being double counted under the nutritional breakdown. There are 39 calories/serving for "olive oil" and then another 23 calories/serving for "oil and vinegar salad dressing". Not a big dicrepancy, but it does throw off the total caloric info and total fat. - 8/14/12

    This is def a keeper. Did not have balsmic so I used rice vinegar, and also tossed in some dried craisins. I made this for me only and hope that the dressing will keep for a day or two. - 3/10/12

    I'm wondering where the 125.8 calorie count comes from? It seems high for lettuce & grapefruit - 5/22/12

    I cut it back to 1 serving and at last minute found I didn't have any Dijon mustard! Still the dressing with just the juice, balsamic vinegar and olive oil was really good! the salad was very refreshing on a hot day! I also left out the onion since I don't like it, but may try it with some spring - 7/20/16

    I find when I make this, there's usually enough juice for the dressing if I catch everything that comes out when I peel and cut the sections. Never need to juice half a grapefruit for this.

    And this is my favorite company salad! Be sure to add some red leaf lettuce to really up the color contra

    Something I didn't know .. if your on High Blood presure meds you can't/shouldn't eat Grapefruit.. it cancels out the meds in the liver.... soooooo... I switched out the grapefruit with orange slices... just as good... (look up Grapefruite and High Blood presure med on Google it will explain it) - 11/28/12

    This would also be great with baby spinach instead of the mixed greens. - 11/15/12

    Any suggestions to add proteins (vegetarian or fish)? This sounds like an amazing salad but its protein amount is lower than what I am suppose to take.
    Thanks! :)

    I can't eat grapefruit because of a certain medication....will have to try with clementines or other. Great & easy recipe for us to work with to make it fit into our own nutrition needs! Mahalo! ...and I happen to have 3 scallops & an avo in the fridge...smiles!
