Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the dressing
1 small garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves (preferably flat-leafed)
8 cups coarsely shredded romaine, rinsed and spun dry
3 cups arugula or watercress, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well and spun dry
3 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb (sometimes called anise, available at most supermarkets)
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
3 ounces Parmesan, shaved into curls with a vegetable peeler (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 large grapefruit, the zest and pith cut away with a serrated knife and the flesh cut into sections

Steps:

  • Make the dressing:
  • In a small bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the grapefruit juice, the vinegar, and the mustard, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Whisk in the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large bowl toss together the romaine, the arugula, the fennel, the radishes, and the dressing, add the Parmesan and the grapefruit sections, cut into 1-inch pieces, and toss the salad gently.

This salad is a bit too bitter for my taste, but I think I could fix that by using less grapefruit next time.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs or spices next time.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it balances out the bitterness of the grapefruit.
