Easy Fat Burning Recipes (19): Raw Kale, Grapefruit, and Toasted Hazelnut Salad

Grapefruit—the scene-stealer of this salad—has a long-standing reputation for spurring weight loss. In fact, eating it at every meal was the basis of a fad diet that began in the 1930s and has made something of a comeback lately.

Guess what? It might actually work. In a 2006 study, overweight people who ate half a grapefruit at the beginning of each meal lost more weight than their fellow participants.

Ingredients: 

• 2 pink grapefruit
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, divided
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces lacinato kale, very thinly sliced, or baby kale leaves
• 1 ounce toasted hazelnuts, chopped (1/3 cup)

Preparation:

1. Peel and segment grapefruit; reserve 3 TBSP juice in a large bowl. Mince 2 rings onion. Add to grapefruit juice, with lemon juice, yogurt, oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

2. Toss in kale. Top with remaining onion, grapefruit, and hazelnuts.
