Delayed Gratification

I made this salad this weekend and it is delicious! Light and fresh, with lovely, lively flavors. This unusual combination of beets, grapefruit, and arugula somehow really works. I wouldn't change a thing.

I made it to take to a friend's house for dinner. I put it in their refrigerator and then promptly forgot all about it. So I schlepped home with my untouched salad and had it for dinner tonight. All by myself, no need to share. You see how well this worked out for me?

I might resurrect it for my Thanksgiving blow-out. It would be a nice light accompaniment. And this time I'll share it - assuming I remember.

The original recipe was in the December 2013 issue of Southern Living magazine. It can be found online here.
