What else can we make with pink grapefruit?!
With grapefruit at its peak season (plus we love the sweet tart flavor) and our abundance of pulled pork after slow cooking a 12 lb. pork roast … we added a couple more healthy ingredients and created a quick and delicious rice bowl.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of pulled pork ( see our citrus jalapeno pulled pork blog)

  • 2 cups of cooked brown rice

  • 6 ounces of salsa verde (we use Trader Joe’s)

  • One 15- ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 6 ounces of fresh chopped lettuce (we used romaine and kale)

  • 12 ounces of pico de gallo (we use Trader Joe’s)

  • 2 avocados, sliced

  • 1 cup of queso fresco, crumbled

  • 1 pink grapefruit, segmented

  • 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

  • If using leftover pulled pork, reheat in skillet on medium-high heat until the meat is warm and starts to caramelize.
  • Combine rice and salsa verde, mix well.
  • Layer four bowls with lettuce. Divide the remaining ingredients among the bowls and serve immediately.

Tips and Nutritional value (source: healthline and joy bauer)

  • 1. Grapefruit can help us boost our immune system which is very important especially during flu season. It contains a high amount of vitamin C and vitamin A, both of which are essential to immunity building.
  • 2. Studies have also shown that grapefruit can aid in weight loss due to the fiber it contains, which helps with appetite control.
