Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 whole Ruby red grapefruit
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and a small pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
2. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the yogurt mixture. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Prepare the grapefruit by cutting off the top and bottom ends. Stand the grapefruit upright on a cutting board and carefully slice away the peel and white pith, following the contours of the fruit.
4. Holding the peeled grapefruit over a bowl to catch the juice, use a sharp knife to cut along the membranes and release the segments (known as supremes). Repeat with the second grapefruit and set the segments aside.
5. Divide the minted pomegranate yogurt evenly into four serving bowls or glasses.
6. Add the sliced grapefruit segments and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds to each serving.
7. If desired, garnish with a scattering of chopped pistachios for added crunch and color.
8. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing treat.
