Citrus Salsa (with Grapefruit)
Report
Refreshingly light, tart, and spicy, this Citrus Salsa is an easy, no-cook salsa perfect for scooping up with tortilla chips or pairing with delicate proteins like fish.

Ingredients
- 1-2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced (I used a white onion)
- 1 white grapefruit
- 1 lime
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Parsley or cilantro, chopped optional
Instructions
- Peel and segment the white grapefruit and lime into sections, making sure to remove the skin, pith, and membranes. Chop the citrus sections into small pieces. Admittedly, I haven’t yet mastered the fruit segmenting thing, so I used my fingers to remove the skin, pith, and membranes from the fruit.
- Add the white grapefruit and lime pieces, diced jalapeno, and diced onion to a bowl and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle with a few dashes of salt, then taste. Add more salt if desired.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. Let sit for at least an hour or two, but ideally 24 hours, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
- The salsa will be quite juicy, so strain before serving.
Notes
- I like it spicy, so I used 2 jalapenos, and it definitely had quite a bite! But if you prefer a milder salsa, just use one jalapeno. You could also replace the second jalapeno with a quarter of a finely chopped green bell pepper.
- I seasoned the chicken simply after removing it from the marinade, with salt and pepper on each side. After bringing my cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat, I grilled the chicken thighs for a few minutes on each side. I’m not going to provide exact cooking times as they may vary, depending upon the size and thickness of each chicken thigh. I use a cooking thermometer to test for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit (the chicken will continue cooking as it rests). Once the desired doneness is achieved, I remove them from the grill pan and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
