Ingredients
Grapefruit and Orange Salad
- Ingredients
- 1 small pink Grapefruit
- 2 small Oranges
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 2 tsps Maple syrup
- 4 ozs cream cheese
- 5 ozs Yogurt (low-fat)
Peel grapefruit and 1 orange, removing all the bitter white pith.
Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between membranes of grapefruit and orange to release whole segments. Divide grapefruit and orange segments between two tall glasses or small bowls.
Squeeze juice from the second orange and measure approximately 1/4 cup juice.
Rinse rosemary, shake dry, pluck needles and chop finely.
In a small pot, mix together rosemary, orange juice and maple syrup and simmer over low heat for about 1 minute. Allow to cool.
Combine cream cheese and yogurt in a bowl. Stir in cooled rosemary mixture, pour over citrus segments and serve.
