Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large orange
- 1 large grapefruit
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, peel the orange and grapefruit by cutting away the skin and white pith. Carefully segment the fruits by slicing between the membranes to release the wedges. Chop the segments into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.
Zest and juice the lime, adding both the zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus segments.
Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño, making sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat. Add them to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Add the salt, honey, and olive oil to the bowl. Gently toss everything together until evenly combined, making sure not to break apart the citrus pieces too much.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, honey, or lime juice to suit your taste.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled fish or chicken, or as an addition to tacos.
