Ruby Red Grapefruit Bars
If you like lemon bars, you’ll love these sweet and sour bars from Dessert Now, Dinner Later. Peak season grapefruit give these bars their wow factor. These bars are made with a traditional shortbread crust and a citrus curd. You can use sweeter Ruby Red grapefruit or try a more sour variety (pink or white grapefruit are more sour than Ruby Red grapefruit). Both will yield excellent results!
Grapefruit, Salmon and Avocado Salad
This beautiful salad from Martha Stewart showcases grapefruit in all its glory! The avocado adds creaminess and the roasted salmon is the perfect protein for this salad entrée, but the sweet-tart grapefruit is the star of this dish! A lime vinaigrette adds the perfect citrus dressing to tie it all together.
Grapefruit Poppyseed Bread
This quick and easy sweet bread from Taste of Home uses grapefruit juice and grapefruit zest in the bread as well as grapefruit juice in the glaze. The nutty, slightly sweet flavor from the poppy seeds complement the zesty grapefruit well. This bread is tangy, soft, and a simple little slice of winter comfort.
Pan-Roasted Grapefruit Chicken Thighs
Pan-roasted chicken thighs are good enough on their own, but add sweet-tart grapefruit and salty pancetta and you’ve got a meal worth talking about! Did I mention there’s also a dose of heavy cream? This to-die-for recipe from Went Here 8 This produces crispy skin and can be ready to go in under an hour. Grapefruit fresh off the tree is the way to go, but if you have to pick it up at H-E-B, choose a sweeter variety like Ruby Red grapefruit for this dish.
Grapefruit Meringue Pie
Grapefruit in a pie? Yes, please! This contest winner from Taste of Home goes all in on this dessert with two whole cups of pink grapefruit juice! That tart filling combined with the flaky crust and beautiful meringue topping all adds up to a dessert you’ll want to keep all to yourself!
Grapefruit and Sage Gin Fizz
This gin fizz from our very own kitchens uses juicy, in-season ruby red grapefruit juice for a blush tint and a beyond-easy homemade sage syrup. A cocktail shaker is a must for this recipe, as it’s the only way to get that frothy top. When choosing your gin, look for something botanical, but not too juniper-heavy. We like the clean taste of Hendrick’s or St. George gin. They don’t overpower the grapefruit and complement the hint of sage from the simple syrup. Enjoy!
