Grapefruit salsa is ideal for elevating barbecued fish, pork or chicken. Alternatively, try it as the finishing touch to avocado on toast, or add to your favourite tacos.

With just a few ingredients, you can transform a grapefruit into something special. This zingy salsa can be dolloped on to almost anything. If you can find ruby grapefruit, the colour is so vibrant.
