"  Okay, it&amp;#039;s not the beauty of the citrus family. No, not as elegant as a lemon, nor as perfectly round as an orange. Grapefruit is the middle child. Its strength is its ability to be the perfect go-between. It&amp;#039;s acerbic enough to brighten grains and temper sweet ingredients, and sweet enough to temper sulfurous ingredients like endive and radicchio and other bitter greens. Grapefruit&amp;#039;s sweet-tart burst of juice in every bite plays well with everything from waffles to Prosecco. Our Good Housekeeping Researching Institute Test Kitchen intern, Gina Chitko, who hails from Florida, offers seven easy ways to incorporate this yummy fruit into your diet. 1. Grapefruit Salsa  The bright, jewel tones of this tart and spicy salsa will delight the eye and the mouth. Try putting it on top of hearty grilled fish like swordfish or mahimahi.

Broil for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt. 3. Pink Grapefruit Pound Cake  Use Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s recipe for Lemon-Poppyseed Pound Cake, but omit poppyseeds and lemons. Instead, add two tablespoon(s) grapefruit zest, 3 tablespoon(s) pink grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger and an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt. 4. Waffle Topper Toast 1 frozen waffle and top with grapefruit segments, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon crushed pistachios. Serves 1. 5. Simple Syrup  Brush syrup between cakes layers or add to club soda, iced tea or a bubbly alcohol like Champagne. Directions:  To make simple syrup, bring equal parts sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Allow sugar to dissolve. Add the juice of 1 grapefruit and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Store in an airtight container. 6. Sparkling Granita  Ingredients: 3/4 cup(s) sugar 3 cup(s) fresh grapefruit juice 3/4 cup(s) Prosecco 1/4 cup water Directions: 1. In medium sauce pot, combine sugar and water; heat over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. 2. Whisk in grapefruit juice and Prosecco. Pour into 13&amp;quot; by 9&amp;quot; metal baking pan. Cover and freeze until completely frozen, at least 4 hours or overnight. 3. To serve, remove granita from freezer. With the back of a large serving spoon, press down on surface of granita to break into large flakes. Transfer flakes to chilled wine goblets or dessert dishes. 7. Pink Smoothie  Blend together 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup ruby red grapefruit juice. Sweeten to taste with honey. Serves one.
