2 medium cucumbers, peeled, de-seeded, large dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 large jicama, peeled and julienne sliced into matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup broccoli, slaw (pre-packaged, optional, optional) (optional) or 1 cup julienne carrot (pre-packaged) (optional)
2 ruby red grapefruits, sectioned (remove pith and peel)
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup finely minced green onion (include both green and white parts)
¼ cup diced pimento (jarred)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar (I used Pomegranate flavored)
¼ cup orange juice
⅓ cup raw honey
1 teaspoon dried dill

1
In a medium-large bowl with lid, combine the cucumbers, jicama, broccoli slaw (if using), cranberries, onions and pimento.
2
Section grapefruit, and add to bowl; include as much of the grapefruit juice as possible.
3
In a smaller bowl, combine EVOO, vinegar, orange juice and honey.
4
Whisk until well blended, about 20 seconds.
5
Add dried dill to dressing, whisk to blend.
6
Pour dressing over vegetables and fruit.
7
Stir well to coat.
8
Serve immediately or chill 1-2 hours for best flavor.
9
Serve as a side salad for grilled chicken, ribs, or bar-b-q.
10
NOTE: CUCUMBERS: To de-seed cucumbers easily, peel, then slice the cucumbers in the half in the long direction.
11
Using a melon baller tool, run melon baller down center of each cucumber half, removing and discarding seeds.
12
A teaspoon can be used if melon baller tool is not available.
13
GRAPEFRUIT: To make things easier, I cut my grapefruit in half and sectioned them with a grapefruit spoon as if to have them for breakfast.
14
I removed the sections and then squeezed the juice into the salad.
15
This made the sectioning and the clean-up a lot easier.
