Steps:
- For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
- For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
- Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.

Tips:
- Choose the right angel food cake: A store-bought angel food cake will work just fine, but if you have the time, making your own from scratch will give you the best results.
- Grill the cake over medium heat: This will help to prevent the cake from burning. You want the cake to have nice grill marks, but you don't want it to be charred.
- Use a variety of fruits in your salsa: The more variety, the better the salsa will be. Some good options include berries, mangoes, peaches, and pineapple.
- Make the salsa ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can make the salsa up to a day in advance.
- Serve the grilled angel food cake with the salsa immediately: This is when the cake is at its best.
Conclusion:
Grilled angel food cake with fresh fruit salsa is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's light and refreshing, and the salsa adds a delicious burst of flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
