Ingredients

4 servings

  • 12 large pink grapefruits
  • 12 blood oranges
  • 11/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
  • 11/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 11/4 cup chopped fresh sage
  • 1Freshly ground black pepper
  • 11/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1for dusting

Instructions

  1. Keep the peel on the fruits to start, which makes slicing them into thin pieces much easier. With a sharp knife, slice the grapefruits and the oranges into thin rounds. Remove the peel from the perimeter of all the rounds. You may do so by using your finger, or make a small slit into the peel and continue to tear the peel off, you’ll want to be delicate with this entire process so as not to damage the round shape.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, sage, and pepper to taste.

  3. Arrange the fruit rounds on a large platter or plate, alternating the colors. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and dust with the cinnamon just before serving. Serve immediately or store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for 1 day.
