My ideas:
When life provides you grapefruit, make a salad. I’ve by no means been an enormous grapefruit eater however I maintain getting them in our produce field. I might swap them out for one thing else however they appear like one thing I ought to like and eat so I maintain getting them. I attempted them broiled with sugar as a part of our annual themed NYE (this yr it was the West and for some purpose, broiled grapefruit stored developing in Western cookbooks—I suppose as a result of they will develop it in Texas) and that was properly, gross even though it gave me the chance to lastly use a grapefruit spoon. Anyway. I’ve ended up with a backlog of grapefruit so I believed a fruit salad could be enjoyable. However all I had was grapefruit, Bosc pears and a few clementines in order that didn’t appear too fascinating. I had deliberate to make snap peas anyway so I believed quite than stir-frying or roasting them once more, I’d evenly steam them and switch them right into a salad. I wasn’t certain how it might end up however we each ended up liking it a ton! Matt introduced it up a couple of instances (positively!) within the days following so I’m certain it will likely be successful at your own home as properly. I don’t usually put sweeteners in a French dressing, however the contact of honey stored the entire dish from being too acidic and helped the dressing coat the salad so don’t be tempted to go away it out. Additionally: supreme your grapefruit, it’s not solely prettier however the salad far more nice to eat with out the citrus membrane. Grapefruit are large so they’re straightforward to supreme. It took possibly a minute and I wouldn’t have the most effective knife abilities, consider me. So, for those who discover your self with 10 minutes to spare, a grapefruit, some nuts and a few snap peas, make this salad!
