Sweet- Sour Citrus Salad

I have been asked for more recipes on my blog. This one I got from Mary, my bike riding friend.
It is really good.

1 large pink grapefruit, peeled and sectioned-cut sections in half
1 large navel orange, peeled and sectioned-cut sections in half
1 small red onion-sliced into rings
1 Tablespoon honey or Agave Nectar
1 large red bell pepper, sliced julienne
1/3 cup of honey or Agave Nectar
1/4 cup Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar, with mother in it
2 teaspoons poppy seed
2 teaspoons grated onion
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt-optional
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
4 cups mixed salad greens

Directions:
1-Sprinkle grapefruit and orange sections with 1 Tablespoon of sweetener.
2-Add red pepper and red onion.
3-In blender, combine sweetener, lemon juice, salt, mustard, grated onion and lemon zest until blended.
4-Pour over fruit.
5-Add salad greens-toss to coat.

Serve immediately
You can prepare the salad ahead- add greens just before serving

**To section orange and grapefruit:
Cut ends off of the fruit, cut around the outside of fruit, to remove peel.
Pull off membranes, cut sections in half.
