Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 grapefruit
Juice of 1 orange
1/2 cup mint leaves, torn
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 bulbs fennel, tops trimmed and reserved
2 Hungarian peppers, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the top and bottom off the grapefruit. Stand up the fruit and slice off the rind and white pith underneath, reserving the rind so you can add the juice to the salad. Cut the fruit into segments, reserving any juice that accumulates. Set aside.
  • Add the orange juice and half of the mint leaves to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle in the oil.
  • Quarter the fennel bulbs and trim the core. Using a mandoline or a chef's knife, thinly shave each quarter. Add the fennel and Hungarian peppers to the vinaigrette. Finely chop the reserved fennel fronds and add to the bowl. Fold in the grapefruit segments and their juices and the remaining mint leaves. Squeeze in the juice from the reserved grapefruit top and bottom and toss to combine. Serve.

Tips:

  • Select ripe grapefruit: Choose grapefruit that are heavy for their size and have a smooth, unblemished rind. Avoid grapefruit with soft spots or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you easily segment the grapefruit and fennel without tearing the flesh.
  • Remove the pith: The pith is the white, bitter part of the grapefruit. Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the pith from each segment.
  • Thinly slice the fennel: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel. This will help the fennel absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the salad just before serving: This will help prevent the grapefruit and fennel from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

This grapefruit fennel salad with mint vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The grapefruit and fennel provide a sweet and slightly bitter flavor, while the mint vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy dressing. This salad is also a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
