Tips:

  • Choosing the right grapefruit: Pick grapefruits that are heavy for their size, as this indicates juiciness. Avoid fruits with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Preparing the grapefruit: Use a sharp knife to remove the peel and white pith from the grapefruit. Cut the grapefruit into segments, removing any seeds.
  • Slicing the radishes: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the radishes. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
  • Making the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Assembling the salad: In a large bowl, combine the grapefruit segments, radishes, and dressing. Toss to coat. Garnish with mint leaves before serving.
