Garden salad with grapefruit vinaigrette

Plant red lettuce and arugula in a garden and wait several weeks for leaves to emerge - watering as necessary

Tear off enough leaves for two salads, pick for critters, rinse, and spin

take a left-over grapefruit half prepared from breakfast but not eaten earlier in the week out of the fridge (or create one if necessary) Pick the half- supremes out of the fruit and set aside

Squeeze the juice into a bowl - add 1.5T olive oil, 1T balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp honey to the juice and whisk. Taste and correct.

Place the leaves in bowls - add the supremes, some chopped onions, some dried craisins, and whatever else. Add the dressing and serve.
