- This was really refreshing salad. The grapefruit was a nice acidic bite which went nicely with the brown sugar infused vinaigrette and the smooth and creamy avocado. It was a nice healthy salad. Overall, it was nothing spectacular, but it was a nice light salad. Better than just using some generic salad dressing. It was fun to make our own.
We just used the salad out of the bag, which worked fine.
