Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the arugula.

  2. Prepare the fennel: remove stalks (saving fronds), trim the tough root end, halve the bulb lengthwise, and slice it into thin strips.

  3. Segment the grapefruit, removing all peel, membrane, and pith, and collect all released juice for the dressing.

  4. Peel and thinly slice the avocado lengthwise.

  5. Thinly slice the dark green part of the scallion.

  6. Whisk the reserved grapefruit juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste to create the dressing.

  7. Lightly toss the arugula and sliced scallion with the dressing, then divide the mixture evenly among 4 serving bowls or plates.

  8. Arrange the fennel slices, avocado segments, and grapefruit segments over or around each serving of arugula.

  9. Garnish each salad with finely chopped fennel fronds.
