Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together; you can also do this in a blender or food processor, but note that this will then puree the mint leaves.
- Use right away, or refrigerate until needed; if refrigerated, whisk again to combine before using.
- Use to dress a large salad; goes especially nice on a relatively plain salad (ie, just mixed greens and raw mushrooms is great).

Steps:
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil over a high heat and cook the green beans for 2 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water to halt the cooking process and retain the vibrant colour. Pat dry with kitchen paper and set aside.
- Halve the passion fruits, scoop the pulp into a small pan and bring to a simmer over a low heat. Cook for 5 mins until the pulp has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and press the pulp through a sieve into a small bowl, discarding the seeds.
- Whisk 1 tbsp honey into the passion fruit purée, followed by the oil, ginger, chilli and lime juice. Season and taste - you might need to add a little more honey or lime juice. Aim for a balance of sweet, tart and acidic.
- Slice down through the mangoes along both sides of the stone so you end up with two 'cheeks'. Using a tablespoon, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into 3cm chunks. Scrape and roughly chop any fleshy bits from the stones.
- Transfer the mango flesh to a shallow serving dish, drizzle with 3 tbsp of the dressing, then gently spoon over the green beans. Stir the coriander into the remaining dressing and pour it over the beans, then scatter with mint and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with bruises or soft spots.
- Segment the grapefruit carefully: To avoid bitterness, use a sharp knife to cut around the grapefruit segments, following the natural membranes. Remove the segments from the grapefruit and discard the pith.
- Make the honey mint dressing in advance: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the grapefruit to become more refreshing.
- Garnish with fresh mint: A sprinkling of fresh mint adds a pop of color and a refreshing flavor to the salad.
Conclusion:
This grapefruit salad with honey mint dressing is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy this citrus fruit. The combination of sweet grapefruit, tangy dressing, and crunchy walnuts makes for a salad that is both flavorful and satisfying. It's a perfect side dish for a weeknight dinner or a light lunch.
