I got the idea to serve a salad in a grapefruit shell from The Star Online (http://kuali.com). Then, I added my own touch to the dish 🙂
Ingredients: [‘grapefruits’, ‘boneless skinless chicken breast’, ‘salt and pepper’, ‘avocado’, ‘green onion’, ‘red onion’, ‘celery’, ‘carrot’, ‘grapefruit juice’, ‘rice vinegar’, ‘sesame oil’, ‘soy sauce’, ‘honey’, ‘fresh ginger’, ‘pepper’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“”,”2 grapefruits”,”1 cup boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes “,” salt and pepper”,”1 small avocado, cubed “,”1/4 cup green onion, chopped “,”1/4 cup red onion, chopped “,”1/4 cup celery, chopped “,”1/4 cup carrot, chopped “,””,”1/3 cup reserved grapefruit juice”,”1/4 cup rice vinegar”,”2 teaspoons sesame oil”,”2 tablespoons soy sauce”,”1 teaspoon honey”,”1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or 1 teaspoon ginger”,”1/4 teaspoon pepper”]
Number of Servings: 4
Steps: [‘Cut grapefruit in half. With a curved grapefruit knife, cut around each section to loosen the flesh from the membrane; remove and reserve the sections of fruit. Squeeze the juice from the shells to equal 1/3 cup.’, ‘With a spoon, scrape the grapefruit shells clean. Scallop or notch the edges, if desired (*see note below). Chill.’, ‘While the shells are chilling, season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes over moderate heat in a nonstick pan or until chicken is no longer pink.’, ‘Combine the reserved grapefruit sections, chicken, avocado and green onions in a bowl.’, ‘Combine the 1/3 cup reserved grapefruit juice with the other dressing ingredients. Pour over the chicken mixture; mix lightly. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.’, ‘To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken mixture to the grapefruit shells, then top with as much dressing as desired.’, ‘*Note: To scallop any citrus fruit shell, cut in half crosswise. Carefully ream out the juice or cut out the flesh with a grapefruit knife. The edges of the shell can be notched with kitchen shears or a paring knife; for scallops, use a coin to outline the pattern; then cut around the pattern.’]
