The red grapefruit is nice because of the pop of color, but you can use any type of citrus fruit in this salad.

Ingredients

3 navel oranges
2 red grapefruit
1 pear, sliced into thin wedges
1 small pomegranate, de-seeded, about a cup
juice of 2 lemons
1/3 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out

Preparation

Trim the tops and bottoms of the oranges and grapefruits, then cut away the peel and pith with a paring knife. Slice the pear into thin wedges, removing the core.
Combine lemon juice, sugar and ¼ cup water with the vanilla seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is melted.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Artfully arrange the fruits on a large serving platter and pour the syrup over the fruit.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
