Ruby Grapefruit, Pomegranate and Shredded Mint Salad
The pomegranate season used to be very short, but now they seem to be available virtually all year round. Some are much paler - look out for the variety called Wonderful. A perfect starter before Christmas dinner - fresh, light and delicious.

Ingredients
2 ruby grapefruit
½ -1 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
3 tbsp of shredded fresh mint leaves
1-2 tbsp caster sugar
To garnish
fresh mint or lemon balm leaves
Method
Peel the skin from the grapefruit with a sharp knife so that all the pith is removed. Segment the grapefruit and put it into a bowl. Toss the pomegranate seeds into the bowl. Add the shredded mint leaves, sprinkle with sugar and taste for sweetness. Leave to macerate for at least 10 minutes.
Serve chilled in pretty white bowls or on plates. Spoon a little juice over the salad. Garnish with fresh mint or lemon balm leaves.
