Reviews
I love this recipe. I serve it with my homemade gravlax as a side salad. It is so refreshing and goes so well with the salty fish. I use pink and yellow grapefruit from my trees.
This recipe was excellent. I’ve made it several times. Once when I didn’t have clover honey, I substituted agave syrup. Both versions were delicious!
I wish I would’ve read the first review first. I made it for a family party of 10 and only one other served themselves and didn’t finish what they took. I had a bit but it had too much of a honey flavor camouflaging the grapefruit. I had gone online looking for a recipe using mint and grapefruit. Originally (years ago I made a luscious mint and grapefruit dish using an African portion in a cookbook and I was trying to re-create that. This didn’t do it. Disappointed. Next time I might do it with 1 Tbs Agave and keep the same amount of mint.
I’m not sure why red grapefruits were used when they’re already the sweeter version and don’t need the addition of honey. The yellow grapefruits are less sweet and would benefit from the honey and are easier to segment. In any event, this was ok, but the flavors didn’t mix well for us. Our family would have preferred the stripped-down, remove the honey and mint plain old grapefruit.
