Culinistas’ Tips

Technique:

• Supreme: With a sharp paring knife, cut a ¼ inch slice off the top & bottom of the grapefruit. Set the grapefruit on a flat end so it stands like a barrel. Follow the curve of grapefruit, slicing off the peel + pit in 1 inch strips all the way around. Slice out the segments without the membranes by setting the grapefruit on its side & cutting toward the center, along the segment membrane. Slice along the adjacent membrane until the cuts meet, releasing the segment.
• Consistency of the dressing should be loose enough, just coating the back of a spoon. Adjust with 1-2 tb date water accordingly.
