Meanwhile, prep the grapefruit and onions. Using a small, sharp knife, slice the end off the grapefruit and then working top to bottom, slice off the skin and pith. Half the grapefruit and slice into half moons. Do the same with the remaining lemon. You’ll have plenty of juice on your chopping board – drain it into a bowl and lay the citrus slices on a plate.
