This citrus-spiked dressing is also delicious tossed with simple salad greens and toasted walnuts. Hand-squeezing the grapefruit (instead of using a juicer) assures that you get the benefits of the pulp in your vinaigrette.

Recipe Ingredient Details:
6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon walnut or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 medium-to-large grapefruit (to yield 1/2 cup fresh juice)
2 teaspoons finely grated organic grapefruit peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 large cloves garlic, chopped (divided)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bunch kale or collard greens (about 10 ounces) (washed and cut into ribbons)
1/3 cup thinly sliced dried figs
Recipe Instructions:
Warm 6 tablespoons oil and dried rosemary in a small pot on low heat until rosemary just begins to drift. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine syrup, grapefruit juice and peel, lemon juice, 1 chopped garlic clove, salt, and pepper; pulse for about 30 seconds. Run continuously on high while slowly adding oil-rosemary mixture. Continue blending for 1 minute. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If not using immediately, refrigerate in a tightly covered jar.
In a large pan, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add remaining chopped garlic and sauté until tender. Add kale or collard greens and braise slightly, about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add 1/2 cup vinaigrette to greens and sauté on medium-low heat until vinaigrette is warmed and greens are nearly tender, about 4 minutes. Add sliced figs and sauté 1 minute more.
