Your salad looks lovely with the ruby red. Although I don't dislike grapefruit, I couldn't get hold of any this week so I substituted it with Thai pomelo...same family and texture, only sweeter and less tangy. <br /><br />Plus, I think I totally messed up my salad that I'm a bit hesitant to post it. Perhaps later :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634978698718844851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-5326269499616931972012-03-31T01:05:45.581-04:002012-03-31T01:05:45.581-04:00Very nice, Cher!

I drink grapefruit juice with breakfast every morning, and eat half a grapefruit for breakfast for almost half the year. I never had grapefruit in a savory dish, but really enjoyed it! I am not sure what I'm going to do about those coconut cookies. I do not eat shredded coconut at all. I'm hoping my sister will do a guest appearance as she's a big coconut fan, and I'll catch up on a missed recipe. Have a great weekend. Glad that you got to love at least one recipe this month.Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-82097400471943813052012-03-30T20:12:28.861-04:002012-03-30T20:12:28.861-04:00I swear I commented last night, but I don't se...I swear I commented last night, but I don't see it. Anyway, I think it's so interesting how people all have such different tastes. I don't mind grapefruit, but I don't go out of my way to eat it either. On the other hand I love coconut desserts! I am looking forward to eating this salad (I'm making it tonight).

Always fun to glance at other people's library and your list certainly offers a glimpse into your culinary inspirations.
