Ingredients

3 pink grapefruit
1 navel orange
1 serrano or jalapeno chile
1 green onion
2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves
salt

Instructions

Cut peel and white pith from each grapefruit and orange. Holding fruit, 1 at a time, over small bowl, cut on either side of membranes to remove each segment, allowing fruit and juice to drop into bowl. Discard seeds, if any. With kitchen shears, coarsely cut up grapefruit and orange segments.
To bowl with fruit, add chile, green onion, basil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Transfer to serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate salsa up to 6 hours if not serving right away.
