This Grapefruit Fennel Arugula Salad is the perfect summer salad. I love Pink Grapefruits, their freshness and slight bitterness. I add them to my green juices and recently I have become a big fan of adding to my salads too. This Grapefruit Fennel Arugula Salad is so refreshing and combines all the flavours I love: the sweetness of fennel and honey, the delicate bitterness of arugula, the powerful spiciness of mustard, the creamy nuttiness of pine seeds and the freshness of grapefruit and mint. I love adding shaved Pecorina Romana to it but if you are going dairy-free you can skip it altogether. It will be just as delicious without it. But if you want to add some creaminess though, a great option is to mix in some slices of avocado. Avocado and pink grapefruit go really well together.
