Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • 2 tsp poppy seeds
  • 3 medium grapefruits
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp coarse grain mustard
  • ½ tsp honey
  • ¾ lb spinach, washed and torn
  • ½ small jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add poppy seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 1-2 minutes. Set aside. Working over a small bowl to catch the juice, remove skin and white pith from grapefruit. Cut into segments from surrounding membrane. Measure 1/3 cup of the juice and set aside. Put garlic cloves in small saucepan with a small amount of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes until tender. Drain. In a blender, combine vinegar, oil, mustard, honey, cooked garlic and reserved grapefruit juice. Blend until creamy. Season with pepper. In a salad bowl, combine spinach, jicama, onions, and grapefruit sections. Drizzle with the dressing and toss. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and serve.
