Toast macadamia nuts in a dry pan until golden brown. Remove nuts from the pan and set aside to cool. Rinse peppers, cut into quarters, remove seeds, and place skin-side up on a baking sheet.
In a preheated oven, roast peppers under oven broiler until skin is blackened and blistered.
Remove peppers from oven and place into a bowl. Cover with a plate and let stand 10 minutes to cool. Peel peppers and cut in half lengthwise.
Rinse sorrel in cold water, shake dry and cut into very fine strips. Rinse scallions and cut into thin rings.
Peel grapefruit with a knife to ensure that all white skin is removed and cut grapefruit into thin slices.
Put grapefruit slices in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons canola oil and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Place grapefruit slices and vegetables on plates in a decorative manner.
Chop toasted macadamia nuts coarsely and sprinkle over the salad.

Healthy, because
A proper portion of protein and fibre guarantees a full feeling of well-being without being overloaded with too many calories. And since one portion also provides far more than the daily requirement of vitamin E, cell protection also gets its money's worth.
Even smarter
Sorrel is sometimes difficult to obtain. Good substitute: flat-leaf parsley.
