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.
