Preparation

Step 1

For salad:
Cut grapefruit into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange pink and white grapefruit slices alternately on a serving platter. Just before serving, drizzle grapefruit slices with 2/3 cup Fresh Citrus Sauce, and sprinkle with pistachios. Serve with remaining Fresh Citrus Sauce. Garnish, if desired.

For Fresh Citrus Sauce:
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan; whisk in orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in lemon zest and juice. Cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to an airtight container; place heavy-duty plastic wrap directly on warm sauce (to prevent a film from forming); chill 2 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator, with plastic wrap on surface of sauce, up to 1 week.
