Salmon Ceviche with a Florida Grapefruit Dressing

 Salmon Ceviche with Cucumber, Chive and Florida Grapefruit dressing - sound good?  Then read on.......

  You may remember a while back when I told you about a competition Florida Grapefruit were holding over at their FaceBook page.  Well last week I went to London along with a few other food bloggers and had a lovely day with the winner Victoria Ashley and Celebrity Masterchef winner Lisa Faulkner.

Victoria won the competition with her delicious Florida grapefruit, honey and
ginger cheesecake!

 Victoria's recipe for her cheesecake can be found here.

Lisa showed us a couple of recipes using Florida grapefruit which is the sweetest and juiciest variety of grapefruit!  Perfect for making dressings and a whole load of recipes I wouldn't have thought of.

First of all here we are, Helen, Michelle and myself segmenting a grapefruit.

 I was quite pleased with my segments!

Then we watched Victoria making her winning cheesecake with Lisa as her helper.

Then we all sat down to a lovely dinner and the main dish 'Smoked chicken, avocado and Florida grapefruit salad' which was yummy!
