Recipe ingredients
- 2 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned, reserve 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) juice
- 1 small jar pimento, drained, diced
- 12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 fresh jalapeño, minced
- 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) Irresistibles extra virgin olive oil*
- salt to taste
Preparation
Cut the grapefruit sections into chunks and set aside.
Rinse and dry mint leaves.
Stack the leaves and roll them starting with the bottom of the leaves, into a tight roll. Slice the roll to create thin strips or ribbons. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine grapefruit sections, mint ribbons, pimento and jalapeño. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together reserved grapefruit juice and olive oil.
Pour over grapefruit mixture and toss to coat.
Season with salt. Serve at room temperature over grilled fish, chicken or pork.
Tips: Wear plastic or rubber gloves when mincing the jalapeño. For a milder flavor, remove seeds.
