Grapefruits are among the first citrus fruits to arrive on store shelves in late fall, and they bring with them a welcome punch of vitamins A and C.
Sweet and juicy, a medium-sized grapefruit also delivers 3 grams of dietary fiber. This could help keep you feeling full for longer — No small thing when holiday meals and party treats tempt with high-cal bites.
"East" by Meera Sodha, which features a collection of Asian-inspired vegetarian and vegan recipes, features grapefruit in a salad that bursts with Thai flavors. The fruit along with shredded cabbage, carrots and iceberg lettuce are tossed with a soy sauce-based dressing that is sweet, sour, savory and slightly spicy all at the same time.
Crushed cashews add a nutty finish, and there's also the salty crunch of crispy fried onions. It's wonderful, easy to make and incredibly satisfying.
I used a pink grapefruit, which is little less bitter than white grapefruit, but any variety would work well. You could substitute grapefruits with oranges or mandarin oranges.
