Description

This refreshing citrus salad combines juicy grapefruit, crisp cucumber, and tangy tomatillos, all tossed in a light white wine vinaigrette. Perfect for a summer picnic or a light side dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale

4 large grapefruits
1 cucumber
1/4 cup sliced onion
2 tomatillos
1/4 cup roasted skin-on peanuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Casal Garcia Vinho Verde
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and pith from the grapefruits. Slice the grapefruits into 1-inch rounds and place them in a large bowl.
Slice the tomatillos into 1-inch slices and add them to the bowl with the grapefruit.
Use a potato peeler to peel the cucumber into long ribbons and add them to the bowl.
Add the sliced onion and roasted peanuts to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and Casal Garcia Vinho Verde. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to combine and coat the salad evenly.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving for a more refreshing taste.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for an hour before serving. The salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Feel free to substitute the peanuts with almonds or walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
