Winter Salad

For the salad:
Wash, dry and tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Snip parsley leaves, if using. Wash and thinly slice pear.

Cut grapefruit lengthwise and cut around the peel to remove the fruit. Cut between the membrane into segments. Do the same with the orange. This is rather juicy business. I use a separate bowl and allow that juice to drip on the pear to keep it from browning.

Arrange on lettuce and include the juice. Top with walnuts and cheese, if desired. Drizzle with dressing. Pass the remaining dressing with the salad.

For the dressing:
Place ingredients in a jar with a tight lid and shake until mixed.
