When choosing grapefruit, we like to buy pink or red varieties, which contain beta-carotene, an antioxidant that may reduce the risk of some cancers. When buying any citrus fruits, pick the ones that are heavy for their size—a sign of juiciness.
Ingredients
7 cups mesclun or spring mix
2 pink grapefruits, peeled and sectioned, juice reserved
