- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cup blackberries
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
1. Wash the purple grapefruits thoroughly. Slice each grapefruit in half crosswise.
2. Using a small paring knife or a grapefruit spoon, carefully loosen the segments from the membranes to make them easier to eat. Do this for each half without removing the segments completely.

4. Sprinkle the blueberries and blackberries evenly over the top of the grapefruit halves.
5. Finely chop 4 of the mint leaves, leaving 2 leaves whole for garnish.
6. In a small bowl, mix the honey, fresh lime juice, and chopped mint leaves until well combined.
7. Drizzle the honey-lime-mint mixture evenly onto the grapefruit halves, allowing it to seep into the segments.
8. Garnish each grapefruit half with a whole mint leaf on top for presentation.
9. Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or light dessert. Enjoy!
