Grapefruit

Variations of this salad are often served on Christmas Eve in both old and New Mexico.

Inspired by the classic Sicilian winter salad of blood oranges and fennel.

Use a Microplane grater or the smallest holes on a box grater to remove the lemon peel in thin, fine pieces. Any delicate buttery cookies — such as pirouettes, small shortbreads, or tender madeleines — would be delicious with the granita.
