This salad is a nice, refreshing change from traditional lettuce and tomato. You can also consider using scallions or a red onion instead of a sweet Vidalia. In order to segment grapefruits, peel each grapefruit, making sure to remove the white pith. Slice into each grapefruit section with a v-shape cut to remove the citrus from the center membranes, making sure you’re working over a bowl to catch the juice. When you finish removing the sections from each piece of citrus, you can then squeeze the center membranes over the bowl to the release the rest of the juices. It's a skill any home chef should learn how to master.
