01
Step 1
Start by layering the fennel, onion, and apple slices in a salad bowl. Give the apple a little squeeze of lemon juice to keep it fresh and bright. Then, add the red grapefruit sections on top, along with the toasted walnuts and a handful of fresh basil leaves.

Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and olive oil. Season it with a pinch of salt and some black pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad just before serving, and toss gently to combine everything. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This salad offers a bright and refreshing combination of flavors. The citrusy grapefruit pairs beautifully with the crisp apple and the mild, anise-like taste of fennel. It’s light, healthy, and perfect for warm days or as a vibrant side dish.
How to serve
Serve chilled for the freshest taste. This salad works well alongside grilled chicken or fish. You can also add a sprinkle of toasted nuts or a drizzle of honey for extra texture and sweetness.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best quality, consume within 1-2 days as the fruit may release juice and soften over time. Keep any dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain crispness.
