  • Drizzle With Honey: Drizzle 1 tsp of honey over the segmented grapefruit. This will balance the tartness with a touch of natural sweetness.
  • Add Fresh Mint: Sprinkle 1 tsp of freshly chopped mint leaves over the grapefruit and honey for a refreshing and aromatic flavour.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Grapefruit with Honey and Mint chilled as a light snack or refreshing side.

COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Choose Ripe Grapefruit: For the best flavour, use a ripe grapefruit with a firm texture but yield slightly when pressed. Pink or ruby red grapefruits are sweeter and less tart than white varieties.
  • Make It Vegan: To make this recipe vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Chill The Grapefruit: For an extra refreshing experience, refrigerate the grapefruit for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Mint Tip: Tear the mint leaves by hand to avoid bruising them, which helps retain their vibrant flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Yoghurt: Serve the grapefruit with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for added creaminess and protein, making it a more filling breakfast.
  • Spicy Kick: For a tangy twist, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or chilli flakes over the grapefruit. The combination of sweet, sour and spicy creates a unique flavour profile.
  • Nuts For Crunch: Add a tablespoon of chopped pistachios or almonds and a dose of healthy fats for extra crunch.
  • Citrus Mix: Mix in segments of other citrus fruits like orange, blood orange, or tangerine for a colourful and varied citrus salad.
  • Herbal Variation: Replace mint with fresh basil or cilantro for a different herbal flavour that pairs well with the tartness of the grapefruit.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • In The Fridge: Store any leftover segmented grapefruit in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add fresh mint just before serving for best results.
  • Freezing: It is not recommended to freeze this dish as the texture of the grapefruit will degrade when thawed.
