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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper into small, even pieces and add it to the bowl with the grapefruit segments.

Step 3

Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add it to the bowl.

Step 4

Chop the red onion finely and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 5

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine, making sure the grapefruit segments remain intact.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

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.
