Good, Solid Recipe

The dressing is flavored with miso, Japanese soybean paste that has the consistency of peanut butter. You'll find miso in the refrigerated section of large supermarkets or in Asian markets. Look for bottled grapefruit sections in the produce department. To speed preparation, look for preshredded cooked chicken breast (such as Tyson) in your supermarket.
