Chicken salad with grapefruit
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. I first tried this salad while on vacation. Yes, it's piquant, yes, it's somewhat unusual and not quite typical, but it's incredibly delicious! So, if you're hesitant about the mint, chili, and ginger—don't worry! Just make this dish and see for yourself how perfectly all the ingredients go together. Happy cooking! The salad is ready to serve.

Now let's work with the grapefruit. Peel off the skin and separate into segments. Be sure to remove the membranes, as they are bitter.

Wash and dry the mint and cilantro. Separate the leaves from the stems. Wash the lime, grate or cut off its zest, cut the fruit in half, and squeeze juice from one half.

Step 6
Don't forget the mint and cilantro either. Chopping them is optional. But if you don't like large pieces of greens in your dish, you can chop them. Mix everything once again—and it's ready!
