Ingredients

• 1 large Orange
• 1 medium Grapefruit
• 1 medium Lime
• 0.5 cup, diced Red onion

• 1 small, finely minced Jalapeño
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon or to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the orange and grapefruit, removing all the white pith. Cut the segments out from between the membranes, working over a bowl to catch the juices. Chop the segments into small, bite-sized pieces and place them along with the juice in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Zest and juice the lime. Add the lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus segments.

Step 3

Add the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and minced jalapeño to the bowl with the citrus fruits.

Step 4

Gently fold in the chopped cilantro and drizzle the honey and extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.

Step 5

Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 6

Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve it fresh as a topping for grilled fish or chicken.
