The 7 Day Detox Diet - Pomelo Salad in Raspberry Dressing

Pomelo Salad in Raspberry Dressing

To prepare:

Wash the salad greens thoroughly and pat dry or spin in a salad spinner. Tear up the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and set aside. When it comes to salad greens, you don’t have to follow the ingredients to the letter. Use what’s available or whatever’s fresh in the market. It’s a great way to try different flavors and to find your own, favorite greens for salads.

Peel the pomelo. Be careful to remove the white skin which can give  a strong, bitter taste.

In a food processor or blender, toss in the raspberries, olive oil, and parsley and puree. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and sugar until you get the desired flavor. Here’s an additional note – dressings should always be a little strong because their flavor is dulled when you eat it with the greens. When taste testing the dressing, eat it with the greens by dipping a piece of lettuce in and tasting both so that you know what it will actually taste like during the meal.

In a bowl, place the salad greens in and add enough dressing (about two tablespoons) to coat the salad leaves but not wilt them. Tear up the pomelo into bite-sized pieces and toss into the bowl with the salad greens.

Serve the salad on a plate or in a salad bowl.
