Sophie – Hadn’t thought of the cereal idea at all. And I do love my cereal!

Not as exciting a suggestion as Lucy’s dark chocolate but a good one if you eat it regularly – it’s worth picking out a breakfast cereal that is fortified with iron. Love the leafy spinach and grapefruit/vitamin C combo – much more imaginative than the usual glass of orange juice on the side!

Wendy,

Good to know that you’re feeling better – my grandmother has the same problem and we all know how bad it is.

Your salad is delightful! I love spinach and I bet it’s wonderful paired with something citrus.

Thank you for visiting my blog – I’m glad because now I know yours, too!

Deb – Totally agree, Deb. Adore pecans especially. Unfortunately, they are extremely pricey across here.

Erika – Didn’t know molasses was iron-rich. Will definitely check out your recipe.

This is a great summer salad and perfect as I too have an iron deficiency.
I just posted a new recipe for ginger cookies, which contain unrefined molasses which is apparently high in iron – thought the quantity in the recipe is small I keep telling myself this so I can have just one more

Simple salads are so wonderful as they are good for you and EASY to fix! I love fruit in salads. So many ways to use it. I also love throwing in a few pecans, walnuts, pine nuts to give it some crunch! Keep drinking that red wine – it really is good for you!

Lucy – Dark chocolate, you say? That I didn’t know.

Anh – Glad you’re friend is getting better too!

Johanna – The red grapefruit isn’t quite as sour as the yellow or pink. That said, I sometimes eat limes so I’m perhaps not someone you want to listen to on the subject of sourness.

Nora – Refreshing is a perfect word for it.

That looks very refreshing, Wendy. I’ve never tried putting grapefruit in my salad, so this is a great idea for me to try, thanks!
