Salade de Pamplemousse

Salade de Pamplemousse is a vibrant Moroccan salad that combines the tartness of grapefruit with the freshness of herbs and the crunch of nuts. This refreshing dish is perfect for a light meal or as a side for grilled meats.

Ingredients

• Grapefruit - 1 medium, peeled and segmented
• Cucumber - 1/2 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/4 medium, thinly sliced
• Fresh mint leaves - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Almonds - 2 tablespoons, toasted and chopped

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the grapefruit: cut off the top and bottom, then segment the grapefruit by cutting between the membranes to release the flesh.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the grapefruit segments, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, chopped mint, and parsley.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients without breaking the grapefruit segments.
5. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top just before serving for added crunch.
