Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ruby red grapefruits
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Start by segmenting the ruby red grapefruits. Cut off the top and bottom ends of each grapefruit, then carefully slice off the peel and white pith. Using a paring knife, cut along the membranes to release each segment. Place the segments in a mixing bowl and squeeze the remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl. Discard the membranes and peel.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, even pieces and add it to the bowl with the grapefruit segments.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add it to the bowl.
Chop the red onion finely and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Add the fresh lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. If the salsa tastes slightly too tart, stir in the optional honey to balance the flavors.
Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine, making sure the grapefruit segments remain intact.
Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Ruby Red Grapefruit Salsa chilled. Pair it with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp tacos.
