This is a light, refreshing salad with a pleasing sweetness in the dressing that offsets the sourness of the grapefruit. The only change I will make next time is to supreme the citrus, as I found the membranes of the sliced fruit difficult to enjoy: too tough, too bitter, almost ruined the salad for me. The supremed fruit then provides a lot of juice to make the vinaigrette, but do keep a bit of the vinegar; use your “foodie” judgment about juice/vinegar ratios. The toasted, salted pistachios are a must—nice crunch and flavor.
