How to Make Grapefruit Guacamole Salsa

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium red onion.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar and sauté for another minute until the onions are glistening.
  4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe avocados with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  6. Add the cooled sautéed onions, the juice of 1/2 grapefruit (about 2 tablespoons), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and/or a squeeze of lime juice as needed.
  9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or your favorite dippers.
