Girl's Day Grapefruit Salad with Lime & Mint
THIS ONE IS FOR THE GIRLS… AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES A GOOD FRUIT SALAD!
I love bringing a healthy dish to any kind of get together, and a girl’s brunch with one of my good girlfriends was exactly the inspo I needed to put together this beautiful, girly, PINK salad!
Grapefruits have never been a “top of the list” fruit for me, but now I think I’m HOOKED! The store down the street had them on crazy sale, so it was a no-brainer to build a healthy brunchy side dish with this citrus fruit as the star.
When you think of a fruit salad, you probably picture the apple/kiwi/banana/orange combo, right? Fruit salads can be SUCH a great addition to a brunch table… but I wanted to spoil my girlfriends & put together something a little special. I wanted to create a salad that was antioxidant rich, hydrating, nourishing & obviously IG worthy. Between the grapefruits, pomegranate & double dose of berries, this is a salad that sparks joy for the eyes, taste buds & your health!
This fruit salad is…
low-sugar
nutrient-rich
simple

only 6 ingredients & pairs well with mimosas!
Grapefruit Salad with Lime & Mint
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8
INGREDIENTS
8 medium grapefruits
12 oz. blueberries, fresh
8 oz. blackberries, fresh
1/2 c pomegranate arils, separated
juice from 1 lime
zest from 1 lime
2 Tbsp. fresh mint, chopped finely
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel & section the grapefruits.
*This is the most time consuming part of the recipe prep. You can also buy grapefruit sections pre-prepped if desired.
Put the grapefruit sections in a paper-towel lined mixing bowl — grapefruits can be SUPER juicy! So this absorbs the majority of that extra moisture!
Remove the paper towels & pat the grapefruit sections dry, additionally if needed.
Add the blueberries, raspberries & 1/4 cup of pomegranate arils into the mixing bowl.
Zest the lime over the bowl of fruit. Then slice & juice the lime onto the mixture.
Add the chopped mint into the bowl.
Using a spatula or large spoon, gently mix all ingredients together in the mixing bowl until mint & lime juice are evenly dispersed.
Serve in a salad bowl or on a platter.
Top by sprinkling remaining 1/4 cup of pomegranate arils.
*Optional — add additional chopped mint or small sprigs of mint for décor!
Serve & enjoy!
