Lay the fruit on a cutting board with the middle of the fruit facing down. Following the curve of the fruit, cut away the outer membranes, using a small sharp knife. Working over a ceramic mixing bowl, cut each segment from the surrounding membranes. Squeeze extra juice from membranes into same bowl. Add remaining ingredients, stir, and serve.
