| 1 Tbsp | low-sodium soy sauce |
| 1 Tbsp | peach preserves |
| 1 Tbsp | rice vinegar |
| 1 Tbsp | orange juice |
| 1 Tbsp | grapeseed oil |
| 2 ounces | goat cheese |
| 1 Tbsp | sesame seeds |
| 4 cups | romaine lettuce |
| 1 cup | grapefruit sections (about 1 whole large grapefruit) |
| spray oil | |
| 1 ounce | slivered almonds |
Mix together the soy sauce, peach preserves, vinegar, orange juice and grapeseed oil until well blended. Chill.
Shape the goat cheese into two rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Pat the sesame seeds onto each side. Place in freezer for about 10 minutes and then keep refrigerated until ready to use.
When ready to serve combine the lettuce with the dressing and add the grapefruit sections. Toss gently until the salad is well coated with dressing. Divide the salad between two plates.
Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with oil. When hot add the goat cheese and sear on one side for about a minute and turn over. Cook for one minute more.
Place the goat cheese on top of the salad. Sprinkle the almonds over the top and serve.

"Life is like a grapefruit. Well, it's sort of orangy-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have a half a one for breakfast."
-Douglas Adams, Author
The refrigerator light goes on...
Recipes are all about balance and this is a great example. There’s sweet, salty, umami, tart and sour flavors in this. Soft goat cheese is coupled with crunchy almonds, crisp greens and succulent grapefruit sections. All seeming so complex but at the same time a simple delicious salad.
