For an extra layer of texture and flavor, consider adding toasted walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds just before serving. Adjust the sweetness of the vinaigrette by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup if desired. If you don't have fresh grapefruit or oranges, you can substitute with high-quality store-bought juice, but fresh is always best! Feel free to experiment with other fruits like mandarin oranges or pomegranate seeds for a seasonal twist.
