Steps

1. 1

   Begin by leaving the peel on the fruits before slicing them thinly, as this will facilitate the process. Using a sharp knife, slice both the grapefruits and oranges into thin rounds. Peel off the outer layer of each round carefully by either using your fingers or making a small incision in the peel and gently tearing it off. Handle this step delicately to preserve the round shape without causing any damage.

2. 2

   Combine olive oil, vinegar, salt, sage, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

3. 3

   On a large platter or plate, alternate the fruit rounds by color. Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the arranged fruits and sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy right away or store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
