Nutty black sesame seeds and tart grapefruit make for an intriguing spinach salad. You can find black sesame seeds in most supermarkets in the international foods section or in Asian markets. If you prefer, substitute regular sesame seeds for the black and toast them to bring out their fullest flavor. This speedy six-minute salad is simple and delicious with tart fruit and an Asian-inspired sesame dressing. Serve as a starter salad for a pretty dinner party first course or add some grilled chicken and have as a quick main dish for lunch or dinner.
