Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend using a pre-made dressing instead of making your own.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

The fennel was a bit too strong for me. I would recommend using less of it in the salad.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, but I really enjoyed this salad. The fennel and mint helped to balance out the bitterness of the grapefruit.

I used blood oranges instead of red grapefruit and it was equally delicious.

I've never been a huge fan of fennel, but this salad changed my mind. The anise flavor was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the grapefruit and the freshness of the mint.
