Lately, some of the most amazing salads have been shaping up in the kitchen. A couple weeks back, Power Foods, a new cookbook (that I’ve had my eyes on) randomly showed up in the mail, with no note and no invoice! Praising the powers that be for this mysterious gift, I’ve set to work building salads.
This Grapefruit, Parsley & Cucumber salad was thrown together out of what ingredients happened to be around one evening; the dressing, however, was inspired from my the cookbook. This has quickly become a favorite!

- 1 grapefruit, peeled & sectioned, pith and membranes removed
- 1 or 2 large white mushrooms
- about 1/4 of a cucumber
- a large handful parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. white vinegar
- 1/2 Tbs. honey
- 1 Tbs. plain yogurt
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- ~ 1/2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
