Mint and citrus are both such strong, characteristic flavors. In this grapefruit and mint salad, they combine perfectly, like a well-sung duet. In this performance, the citrus hits the high notes, and mint provides the harmony.

Those strong flavors makes this fruit salad great for breakfast, or any other time you might be looking for some extra invigoration. And it’s so easy to make, you can do it anytime!

Ingredients

Place the segmented grapefruit, oranges, and any juices that they collect, in a large bowl.
Rinse and dry the mint leaves and place them in a food processor along with the sugar. Pulse together until the mint is finely chopped.
Add the honey and a couple tablespoons of the juice from the citrus to the mint mixture. Pulse together until everything is combined.
Pour all of the mint mixture into the citrus and stir gently until all the fruit is coated in mint dressing. (A lot of the mint mixture will dilute into the juices from the fruit, that’s okay!)
Serve salad chilled or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

It looks like the orange and grapefruit segments were “supremed.” Why was this step committed from the recipe? Thanks!

  Hi Sandy,
  
  I think it’s really up to you whether you prefer removing all the pith when you segment the fruit. It certainly does make for a prettier looking salad, though. I personally don’t mind a bit of pith myself.
