Instructions

  1. Cut peel, including all white pith, from fruit with a sharp paring knife and cut segments free from membranes. Halve grapefruit segments crosswise, then transfer to a bowl. Stir in coconut, Campari, sugar, and a pinch of salt and chill 15 minutes.

  2. Just before serving, stir in nuts.

Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Grapefruit Ambrosia works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
