When using grapefruit in various dishes, the easiest way to work with them is to segment first. To segment a grapefruit, use the following steps-
- Start by identifying your “top” and “bottom” of the grapefruit, the top being where the stem connected to the tree. Slice off the top and bottom, perseriving as much flesh as possible.
- Take your knife and start to cut away the peel. Cut North to South and try to follow the curve of the grapefruit. You want to catch as little of the flesh as possible when removing the peel. If you have any visible white pith or peel remaining, cut them off.
- Once you have removed the peel and any remaining pith, you will want to start cutting the sections of your grapefruit or “supreme” your grapefruit. “Supreme” is the official culinary term for sectioning a grapefruit (or other citrus fruits).
- Take your knife and slice on each side of the fruit segment, leaving the tough membrane in between each segment. Remove the segment and repeat until all the segments are removed from the grapefruit membrane. Use your grapefruit segments as desired.
Lettuce Wraps with Grapefruit Salsa
This is a great way to utilize your CSA and use up any leftover protien
Ingredients
- 1 grapefruit, segmented, cut into pieces
- 1-2 jalapenos (to desired heat level), de-seeded and minced

- Optional-a few pieces of cut papaya, cut into small chunks
- 1-2 tsp honey

Directions
- Segment grapefruit, squeezing any remaining juice from the peel into a bowl. Cut grapefruit into bite size chunks and place in a bowl.
