Assemble a Grapefruit and Buffalo Ricotta Salad, a fresh mix of mint, grapefruit, and beetroot, topped with crunchy croutons.

Ingredients

For Salad

1 pink Florida Grapefruit, segmented
1 cup cooked beetroot, cubed
Little more than 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup washed and picked baby salad leaves, such as ruby chard, spinach, rocket or mizuna
4 slices white bread, cut into 2-centimeter cubes
1 bunch fresh mint
2 tablespoons light olive oil

For Dressing

Juice of half a Florida Grapefruit
Juice of 1 orange
Little more than 1/3 cup lemon oil*
Salt and freshly milled black pepper

Instructions

Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and crush the stalks lightly. Shred the leaves. Warm the olive oil in a pan and add the mint stalks. Leave on one side to infuse (the longer you leave this the better). Heat the mint-infused oil in a pan and fry the bread cubes until pale golden. Add the chopped mint leaves and drain on kitchen paper.
When you’re ready to eat, mix the salad leaves, grapefruit and beetroot in a salad bowl. Shake the dressing ingredients together and pour it over the leaves. Crumble the ricotta cheese over the salad and scatter over the croutons.
