We love the spectacular color and the fresh taste of pink grapefruit and when complemented with perfectly ripe avocado, it’s salad perfection! And, since pomegranate seeds are just so charismatic, we decided to add a little extra flavor along with color and texture by tossing in fresh pomegranate seeds and radicchio. Drizzle a good champagne vinaigrette over the top and it doesn’t get much better! Besides, for all you Wicked lovers out there, you already know that “pink goes good with green”!
