Recipe by Sara Forte, Dana Point, CA We used rotisserie chicken for this fresh winter salad, but it's also a great way to put a new spin on leftover chicken. If you don't have grapefruit, oranges would also be good.

Ingredients

1 qt. arugula
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 cups cubed or sliced rotisserie chicken
1 cup shaved fennel
3/4 cup toasted, salted pistachios
3 large Ruby grapefruit
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Put arugula and romaine in a large serving bowl. Top greens with chicken, fennel, and pistachios.
Cut the peel and outer white membrane from 2 grapefruit. Slice grapefruit into half moons and add to salad.
Juice remaining grapefruit into a bowl. Add oil, sugar, salt, and pepper to juice and whisk together. Pour over salad and toss gently to mix.
