Simple, quick and tasty. That’s what comes to mind when I think of this salad. The sweetness of honey, the tang of mustard and a good hearty blast of sweet red grapefruit make this a sure-fire winner on even the hottest day. It puts a smile on my face every time I make it.
It only takes a few minutes to put this together, which makes it a great choice for a quick-lunch. Alternately, just pack up the ingredients separately and assemble it right at your desk in a few seconds for a light alternative to a standard office lunch.
I developed this recipe for FoodBuzz Family Bites. The ingredients used were provided by Newman’s Own, which is why there is a brand specified, but any Honey Mustard dressing that you love, whether homemade or store-bought will work wonders here.

What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
Nothing really, but my wife would probably recommend goat cheese.

@Mrs Honey,
It was good. love the crunch from the cashews, nice tank from the grapefruit. Want cheese, add more grapefruit!
Your wife would eat goat cheese on just about anything…so you’re probably right. That looks SO delicious!
