Tips

Choose ripe, juicy grapefruits and pineapples for the best flavor. Avoid grapefruits that have a greenish tint or pineapples with brown spots.
If you want to save time, you can buy pre-cut pineapple and grapefruit. However, fresh-cut fruit will always taste better.
If you don't have any honey on hand, you can substitute another type of sweetener, such as sugar or agave nectar.
To make a non-alcoholic version of this salad, simply omit the rum.
This salad can be served as a side dish or as a light main course.
