Grapefruit Fennel Cilantro Salad

by Stacey Leave a Comment

Until a few years ago the only way I knew to eat a grapefruit was to cut it in half, sprinkle it with sugar and dive into each juicy section one by one. Then I saw a clip from Martha Stewart on how to segment citrus fruit. This opened a whole new realm of possibilities with Grapefruit. As many of you may have experienced the peel and pith can be unforgivingly bitter and the skin tough and stringy. By segmenting the fruit you are removing the peel, pith and skin. You are then only left with glistening fruit wedges.

Ahh Fennel, thank you for coming into my life 10 years ago. With its crisp, cool, mild licorice bite its a great compliment to the grapefruit but in no way over powers. The flavors support one another and the textures compliment one another.

Pulling it all together like a great pair of earrings and shoes would an outfit, is cilantro and lime. Their bright, fresh, clean taste allow the flavors to work in harmony. And if a little heat is called for try a pinch of crushed red pepper.
