Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 140g shredded cabbage (I used napa but any would work)
  • 8.8 oz 250g cooked beets (canned would work)
  • 1 pink grapefruit
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon 10g honey
  • 10 fresh mint leaves chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup 30g roasted sunflower seed kernels

Instructions
 

  • Add the cabbage to a large bowl.
    2 cups 140g shredded cabbage (I used napa but any would work)
  • Conserve 1 ounce of the beet liquid for the dressing then chop the beets and top the cabbage. Supreme the grapefruit - I use this technique.
  • Cut the rind away.
  • Then running the knife along side the membranes connecting the slices, pop out the segments and add them to the bowl.
  • Squeeze the skeleton to release any additional juice for the dressing. I was able to get another ounce out of it.
  • Make the dressing by whisking the olive oil, mint leaves, honey and a pinch or two of kosher salt.
    1 pink grapefruit, 2 teaspoon olive oil, ½ tablespoon 10g honey, 10 fresh mint leaves, Kosher salt
  • Be sure to smash the leaves a bit releasing some of their oil to infuse the dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the beets, grapefruit and cabbage. Add the sunflower seeds.
    2 cups 140g shredded cabbage (I used napa but any would work), 8.8 oz 250g cooked beets (canned would work), 1 pink grapefruit, ¼ cup 30g roasted sunflower seed kernels
  • Toss everything together.
