Tips:

Choose the right grapefruit: For the best flavor, select a grapefruit that is heavy for its size and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you easily cut the grapefruit and prevent the fruit from tearing.
Section the grapefruit: To section the grapefruit, cut off the top and bottom of the fruit, then score the peel from top to bottom in 1-inch intervals. Use a spoon to gently loosen the segments from the peel and remove them from the fruit.
Prepare the apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the apples and grapefruit.
Chill the salad: Cover the salad and chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This apple grapefruit salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy grapefruit pairs perfectly with the crisp apples, and the honey-lemon dressing adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice as well.
