Step 1. Eat grapefruit in a salad
Grapefruit is suitable to be added to salads. Make small slices of grapefruit using the method above, and mix with arugula leaves (or lettuce of your choice), feta cheese, walnuts (walnuts), and a small amount of vinaigrette sauce (or French dressing; which is a mixture of oil, vinegar)., mustard, and garlic) to produce healthy and delicious food.
Step 2. Grill/roast grapefruit
You can easily roast grapefruit to caramelize the natural sugars in it and bring out its aroma. You can cut the grapefruit in half and roast with the cut side down for 5 minutes, or cut it into thin round slices and bake for 2 minutes (or until it looks cooked). Drizzle roasted grapefruit with honey for a healthy baked snack.
Step 3. Make it into salsa sauce
If you like orange or mango salsa, try making it with grapefruit. Cut the grapefruit flesh into cubes, then mix with the lime juice, caramelized onion, and Mexican chili (jalapeno) and diced avocado. You can drizzle this dressing on chips or tortillas, use it for salads, put it on top of salmon or for anything else where you normally use salsa.
Step 4. Squeeze the grapefruit
You can take grapefruit extract and use it in a variety of ways. Replace lime juice with grapefruit juice for a grapefruit margarita. Margarita is an alcoholic drink made of tequila (a Mexican alcoholic drink made from fermented agave tequilana or blue agave) mixed with lime juice and lemon. Drink directly or with a small amount of water to produce a sour drink suitable for summer. Pour over the chicken that will be grilled in the pan as a variation of the lemon chicken.
