I love, love, love grapefruit. Love it. I always let out a squeal when I see the big 18 lb bags of my favorite citrus in the grocery store each winter. Between salads, margaritas, cookies, cakes, curd, scones, and more margaritas, we’ll demolish a bag every 10 days or so.

Even though we have our old favorites, we’re always looking for new ways to help us justify buying another bag of grapefruit. These tacos were one of those new ways. Last year on vacation, we had a fantastic ceviche with big chunks of grapefruit. I was smitten. Citrus and white fish were simply just meant to be.

The creamy, smooth avocado wonderfully balances the bitterness of the grapefruit. With the crunch from the red pepper, onion, and jalapenos, it’s a well rounded salsa, worthy of topping your favorite white fish taco. Or eating with a bag of chips 🙂
