Tip:  Use oranges in place of grapefruit for a sweeter flavor.
Optional Add-Ins
  • Cheeses: Feta or goat cheese for a creamy, tangy element.
  • Nuts & Seeds: Toasted pumpkin seeds or roasted pistachios for crunch.
  • Greens: Fresh spinach or butter lettuce for added volume.
  • Herbs: Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
  • Vegetables: Roasted beets for earthiness and color.
  • Mixed Greens: Add a bed of greens like spinach or arugula for extra volume and nutrients.
Where to Find Prepared Grapefruit : Look for pre-segmented grapefruit in the refrigerated produce section of your local grocery store. Always check the label for added sugars or preservatives and opt for options with clean ingredients.
