Grapefruit salad is a bright and refreshing dish that originated in American cuisine, inspired by the trend of combining fruits with greens. Grapefruit adds a sweet-sour freshness, contrasting with crispy iceberg lettuce and tender cucumber. Pine nuts add a savory touch and a subtle oily texture, while basil enhances the aromatic depth. Dressed with extra virgin olive oil, this salad becomes an ideal choice for a light dinner or festive table.
