Combining the tangy sweetness of grapefruit with the creamy texture of banana and a hint of fresh spearmint, this dish is perfect for breakfast, a light snack, or as a palate-cleansing side.

Ingredients:

2 cups grapefruit
460g
1 banana
150g
1 tbsp parsley
6g
1 tbsp honey
20g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grapefruit:
- Peel the grapefruit and segment it, making sure to remove any seeds and membrane. You should have about 2 cups of grapefruit segments. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Slice the Banana:
- Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. Add the banana slices to the bowl with the grapefruit.
3. Chop the Spearmint:
- Wash and finely chop the spearmint leaves. You’ll need about 1 tablespoon of chopped spearmint. Add it to the bowl.
4. Add the Honey:
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the fruit in the bowl.
5. Mix the Salad:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the honey is evenly distributed and the fruit is well mixed.
6. Serve:
- You can serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Tips:

- Ensure your grapefruit is at peak ripeness for the best flavor. Look for fruit that feels heavy for its size and has a slight give when pressed.

- For ease in preparation, segment the grapefruit over a bowl to catch any juice, which can be added to the salad.

- To prevent the banana from browning, slice it just before serving.

- Gently toss the salad ingredients to avoid mashing the banana pieces.

- If you don't have fresh spearmint, you can use other mint varieties or even a bit of fresh basil for a different twist.

This Honeyed Grapefruit and Banana Salad with Spearmint is not only visually appealing but also bursting with vibrant, contrasting flavors.
