30 day salad challenge continues!

I'm a little behind starting this challenge on the blog.  That's why you see two salads in the same day.  This salad was crazy good!  I admit, I was scared about this one.  It was actually born from the dressing.  Natalie was eating grapefruit, and it just smelled so good.  I thought, wow!  That would make a great salad dressing!  But, what in the world will go with it?  Well, citrus goes with fish.  Why not?  I mean, if I didn't like it, I could just give the tuna to the cats and try again.  Right?  So, there you have it!  YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!  (And very filling!)


Salad:
Baby spinach
1 can of drained tuna
Pink grapefruit sections
Sunflower seeds

Dressing:
Grapefruit juice, and about 3 bites of fruit
Apple cider vinegar
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
A pinch of sugar

I don't measure, really.  I just pour a little of this and a touch of that.  I try to make just enough dressing to equal about a Tbs or so.  That way there is no waste.  This one ended up being a little more because of the grapefruit juice, but it really added to this salad.  I was afraid the tuna would make it heavy.  It wasn't at all.  It was very light, but super satisfying.  I'm looking forward to making this one again!
