Grapefruit segments are treated to a slight caramelization in a hot skillet just before topping this colorful salad. Itâs finished with a light honey mustard dressing, bacon and avocado. âMaria Davis, Flower Mound, Texas Ingredients:
1/3 cup pecan halves |
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup sugar, divided |
1 medium grapefruit, peeled and cut into segments |
4 cups spring mix salad greens |

3 tablespoons reduced-fat honey mustard salad dressing |
