This salad was a disappointment. The fennel was too overpowering and the grapefruit was too sour.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be great with a sweeter dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this salad. The fennel and walnuts helped to balance out the tartness of the grapefruit.
