Salad with Ruby Red Vinaigrette

I know you hate to waste food as much as I do and when fruit and veggies are approaching their end stages I get creative.  Such is the case with making the Ruby Red Grapefruit Syrup which can be used to make this vinaigrette or the coctails I will share with you later this evening. 

Salad with Ruby Red Vinaigrette

You can add this vinaigrette to any favorite salad.  As in the one pictured above:
Mix in a tablespoon of the vinaigrette with 2 peeled sectioned and cross cut oranges and bunch of seedless halved red grapes.   Mix the remaining vinaigrette in a bowl with salad greens.  Plate the greens and fruit with diced ham and deviled eggs.  Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over all.
