Grapefruit, Cabbage and Almond Salad with a Lime Mustard Dressing.

This easy to prepare salad looks vibrant, tastes great and is easy to modify. This is really important if you want to use the ingredients you have on hand. We like to substitute the almonds for walnuts and use 1/4 red and 1/4 green cabbage. We are chilli fans and like to add a finely chopped red chilli.
