How to Make Minted Pomegranate Yogurt With Grapefruit Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the Greek yogurt until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds and chopped mint.
  3. Add honey or sugar to taste, mixing well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  4. While the yogurt chills, prepare the grapefruit salad: Peel the grapefruits, removing all the white pith.
  5. Carefully separate the grapefruit segments from the membranes, collecting the juices in a bowl.
  6. Combine the grapefruit segments with the reserved juices and orange flower water (if using). Add honey or sugar to taste.
  7. Stir gently. Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds.
  8. To serve, spoon the chilled yogurt into bowls. Decorate with a scattering of pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves.
  9. Serve immediately with the grapefruit salad alongside.
  10. **Variations:** For a more complex citrus salad, add segmented oranges, blood oranges, and thin lemon slices. Lime segments, mandarins, or tangerines also work well. For a truly refreshing twist, add diced juicy melon and/or kiwi fruit.
