Nice for brunches, this lettuce and fruit salad has a lightly sweetened mint-lemon vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 1/4 C. olive oil
  • 2 Tbs. sugar
  • 1 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel
  • 1 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large oranges, peeled and sectioned
  • 1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
  • 1 medium green onion, sliced (2 Tbs.)
  • 1 Tbs. snipped fresh mint
  • 4 C. shredded romaine lettuce (about 6 oz.)

Directions

For dressing, in a screw-top jar combine oil, sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, and salt. Cover and shake well. In a medium bowl place orange and grapefruit sections, onion, and mint. Pour dressing over and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 24 hours. To serve, put romaine in a large salad bowl and top with fruit mixture; toss lightly. Serve immediately.
