Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Texas red grapefruits, such as Sweet Scarletts, halved
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
  • 2 ounces soft goat cheese or soft vegan nut-based cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup roasted & salted pistachios
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Heat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Remove any large seeds from the grapefruit halves. Brush the cut surfaces of the halves with the olive oil. Grill the grapefruit halves, cut side down, until rich grill marks form, about 5 minutes, rotating once. Flip over and grill the rounded side of each grapefruit half until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
  2. Arrange the grilled grapefruit halves on a platter or individual plates. Immediately sprinkle with the basil vinaigrette, goat cheese, pistachios, and black pepper, and serve.
