Spicy Grapefruit Herb Marinade – A Tasty Alternative

This Spicy Grapefruit Herb Marinade would be delicious with pork, chicken, or fish. The Spicy Grapefruit Herb Marinade recipe is a tasty alternative to the lemon and orange juice traditionally used in a marinade.

Grapefruits, like most citrus fruits, are loaded with antioxidants, particularly vitamin C. They also have a good amount of fiber, potassium, and B vitamins (particularly folate). And the pink and ruby red varieties owe their color to the lycopene, the same phytonutrient found in tomatoes, and known to reduce particular cancer and stroke risks. Ironically, if you are taking blood thinners, you should avoid grapefruit because it reduces the effectiveness of the medications.

• 1 large pink grapefruit
