Ingredients

• 6 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and butter lettuce)
• 2 whole pink grapefruit
• 1 cup borage flowers
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly, then place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Peel the pink grapefruits, removing all the white pith, and segment them by cutting between each membrane. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl to catch any juice while segmenting and set the segments aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice for the dressing.

Step 3

Rinse the borage flowers gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, reserved grapefruit juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss lightly to coat.

Step 6

Divide the greens evenly onto four plates. Top each plate with grapefruit segments and borage flowers for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
