My friend made this salad for a bridal shower that I hosted (it was actually the bride--I made her bring a salad to her own bridal shower!) and I LOVED it. It's sweet and tangy and crunchy, and the feta cheese mellows everything out. This is a great summer salad but we thought it was wonderful in snowy February.
Ingredients:
Spinach
Arugula
Grapefruit chunks
Blackberries
Feta Cheese
Mint Leaves (optional)
Make sure the grapefruit and blackberries are in bite-sized chunks and mix it all together.
Two hints: I made it once with arugula and spinach but no mint, and once with mint and spinach but no arugula. I personally thought the mint was a little too strong in the salad (I only put a few in, torn into pieces) but my friends didn't notice it. The arugula was a great addition (as long as the arugula is good), but it is ok with just spinach too if arugula is too expensive (it is for me!).
Made this tonight for Dad's birthday dinner (our gift to him - fun for all, and cheaper than a restaurant gift card for us). Huge hit! The flavors blend so nicely, and the arugula is just delightful. Total love!
