Let me first apologize for not sharing this recipe sooner. For any of those in the depths of winter, looking for something to brighten up their day… here’s my Ginger, Grapefruit Cucumber Relish. Honestly we could rename it to Sunshine Relish— it’s slightly spicy (from the pepper), very bright (from the grapefruit), and just SO fresh. Serve on a baked piece of salmon or chicken or on a salad for a bright, healthy and zesty touch to a dish. I like to make it ahead, store in the fridge and add it to a protein for an easy but delicious dinner!
