Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe red grapefruit. Look for fruit that is heavy for its size and has a smooth, evenly colored rind.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the grapefruit and fennel.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar.
- If you don't have any toasted walnuts on hand, you can use chopped almonds or pecans instead.
- For a more flavorful dressing, use freshly squeezed grapefruit juice instead of store-bought.

The combination of sweet grapefruit, crunchy fennel, creamy avocado, and toasted walnuts is delicious and satisfying. The dressing is light and tangy, and it perfectly complements the flavors of the salad. This salad is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
