Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Use avocados that are slightly soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
  • Use fresh grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel bulb. This will help the fennel release its flavor and make it easier to eat.
  • Dress the salad just before serving: The grapefruit juice can make the salad watery if it sits for too long. Dress the salad just before serving to keep it crisp and flavorful.
