Pink Grapefruit And Sumac Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Top and tail five grapefruits so they'll stand on a board. Cut down the side of each grapefruit, following its natural lines, to remove the skin and white pith. Over a bowl to catch the juices, cut in between the membranes to separate the individual segments. Dry the segments on kitchen paper and squeeze any juice from the skin and membranes into a saucepan.
• Squeeze enough juice from the last grapefruit to make the juice in the pan up to 300ml. Add the sugar and chilli, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and you have about five tablespoons-worth of juice left - this could take up to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool down, then whisk in the oil, lemon juice, sumac and a quarter-teaspoon of salt.
• In a large bowl, put the grapefruit segments, onion, chicory, watercress and basil. Pour over three-quarters of the dressing and toss gently. (If it seems dry, add all the dressing; otherwise, save it in the fridge for another leafy salad.) Serve at once.

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to cut skin (and white pith) from grapefruits; cut into segments, reserving juice.
• Place lettuce in a large bowl with avocado. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons reserved grapefruit juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; toss gently. Top with grapefruit segments.

Steps:

• Peel grapefruits with a sharp knife, cutting away all white pith. Cut between membranes into individual segments, and place in a bowl along with any juices. Halve avocados, removing peel and pits. Slice into thin wedges and add to bowl with basil. Cut pomegranate crosswise. Holding a half cut-side down over bowl, hit the back side until all seeds have been released, then repeat with other half. Season with salt to taste, and toss lightly.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard and pomegranate molasses, and season with salt to taste. Toss salad with dressing. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with sumac and garnish with nasturtium flowers.
