Grapefruit Poppy Seed Salad Dressing Recipe

By Rebecca Franklin, About.com

Traditional French dressing for fruit salad is made with fresh-squeezed grapefruit or lemon juice in place of the vinegar. This grapefruit version is mouth-watering when tossed with citrus and melons. Make sure to zest only the colored part of the grapefruit peel; the white pith is extremely bitter.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup grapefruit juice
  • ¼ teaspoon grapefruit zest
  • Dash (1/16 teaspoon) freshly grated nutmeg
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon poppy seeds

Preparation:

Add all ingredients, except poppy seeds, to blender and process until dressing is smooth. Stir in poppy seeds and drizzle over fruit.

Makes 8 servings.
