Salad

A zesty grapefruit salad is the way to go!
Toss together grapefruit segments, mixed greens, avocado slices, and a crumble of feta cheese.

The salad pairs the bitterness of grapefruit with the creaminess of avocado and the tangy sweetness of the dressing.

A tangy grapefruit sorbet is the perfect refreshing dessert.
Just heat grapefruit juice with sugar until it's all dissolved, then chill it really well.
Once it's cold, churn it in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer's directions.
You'll end up with a smooth sorbet that's tart and sweet at the same time - ideal for a palate cleanser after a meal.
Breakfast

Beverage
