Grapefruit ( and pomelos)doesn't mix with a number of cholesterol medications. I have made this salad using various oranges and other citrus fruits and tossing with some grated fresh ginger for the zing the grapefruit would have given. Or Aleppo pepper flakes

This was amazing! It is gorgeous and delicious. Plus, it is easy. One thing I would do differently is not to chop the blanched almonds. They looked like seeds. Next time, I'll add a little mint for color.
Steve Abbott
Fun, delicious, and easy to make, and as noted by David Tanis, lends itself to improvisation. The prosecco seemed to me an unusual accompaniment when I first read the recipe, but it was marvelous and I gained an appreciation for sparkling wine, as only a small amount is used in the recipe and somebody had to drink it!
Wendy
My healthy-minded guests loved this, and it was so simple. I couldn't find meyer lemons, though, so I just squirted some regular lemon and lime juice over the fruit prior to serving and it was delicious.

To make it more desertish, I use Grand Marnier rather than prosecco.
Lisa
I made this and added lime zest which I rolled in my fingers with sugar, then topped it with that. Rest was the same. So good.

Took the advice of another poster and rubbed some lime zest and a pinch of salt into some sugar. This is surprisingly delicious. Due to medical restrictions, did not use grapefruit, but an assortment of oranges, tangerines and blood oranges.

I left out the sugar and added mint for a less sweet version. The leftovers were even more delicious by day 3.

This is even more beautiful than the photo shows - it adds a stunning visual to a mid-winter table. And the prosecco and blanched almonds are a really nice touch.
Beverly Bullock
I served this on Easter, following the delicious Mark Bittman shrimp in green sauce - perfect!! Loved by all!

Any suggestions for a non-alcohol substitute for Prosecco?
Jaimie
A delicious, elegant, and easy way to end a rich meal of filet mignon and lobster tail. Light and refreshing. The Meyer lemon lends a perfect herbal note. I omitted the almonds to stick to pure citrus flavors with the Prosecco drizzle. Next time I'll add them but it was a winner without.

Didn't have cara cara oranges, and halved the recipe for 2 people.
I used a bit of POM juice to toss the fruit in a large bowl, then topped the individual serving bowls with Muscato D'asti, Don't skip the sparkling topper! Having tasted the "before and after," the bubbly is transformative.
Karen
This was a wonderful addition to the dinner, and so beautiful. I didn't use the almonds and it was still impressive.
Kathy
Any Prosecco would do. Just check your local market or wine shop! Need not be expensive . perhaps:
Bellenda Brut Conegliano Valdobbiande Proesecco Superior San Fermo 2014 around $19. and 88 points by WS.
Happy New Year!

I would not add the lemon next time. I might squeeze some lemon juice on top, but the fruit itself was unpleasantly tart in the mix.

A light, refreshing winter dessert. The grapefruit slices were too hard to cut with the side of a spoon so I’ll leave them out next time. I used Cointreau as I didn’t have Prosecco and it was delicious. Next time, a little lime juice would be good.
mods
Add a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper

I love this recipe! So easy, beautiful, and delicious! I found a video on YouTube on how to peel a whole orange that worked quite well using the "cap" method: score the skin around the center of the orange with a sharp knife, then insert a soup spoon under the skin to loosen it from the fruit, then pull the cap off. Repeat with the other side.
Barbara
Anything wrong with garnishing with Prosecco ahead of serving? I would like to carry this to a luncheon.
Ann
Wonderful! I added a sliced kiwi and some blueberries for flavor and color. Beautiful and delicious alternative to fruit salad!
Deborah
Lovely and light, served as dessert, a bit "one note", next time will add mint, and a side of shortbread or butter cookies.
Rachel
pomegranate seeds or candied cumquat slices make a gorgeous garnish.
George Jacob
Use some freshly grated ginger and mint
Robin
I sprinkled Brianna's blush wine vinaigrette over the citrus. Scrumptuous!!
Bill Strong
I make a similar salad but no Prosecco. Mine includes honey, lime juice and celery seed. Looking forward to trying the Prosecco
Karen Artiaco
I noticed that white grapefruit in the picture still has seeds in it. If one were to use a Valencia orange, it would also have seeds. IMHO, seeds should be removed before serving.
Great side for rich main dish
I served this along with a cheesy Dutch baby, so it was great with that richness. I would omit the lemons as that was an unpleasant surprise for some of our guests! Also, it makes a lot.... We served it to 5 people and had a lot left over, FYI. Prosecco was nice touch and we were able to used the rest for Bellinis! Great for brunch.

I always love the idea of making this for Christmas dinner, but it’s just a little bit too early for blood oranges where I live. I topped the dish with with pomegranate seeds this year, which was pretty and delicious.
Rosalind
This was absolutely delicious and inspiring as the whole is greater than the sum of the parts... The champagne and sugar brought out the flavor of the fruit. Used what was available - kiwi and strawberry along with oranges. Pretty colors and great with a heavier main course.
