Minted Grapefruit & Fennel Salad

Serves

6

Ingredients

1 (10 oz.) package mixed greens
1 bulb fennel, fronds removed, halved through core, and thinly sliced
1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
1 small red onion, thinly shaved
1 recipe vinaigrette (recipe follows)
4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper (optional)

For the vinaigrette:

1 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbs. chopped fresh mint
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Spread the greens over the base of a serving dish. Top with sliced fennel, grapefruit, and red onion and lightly toss. Immediately before serving, drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with crumbled cheese and fresh pepper.

For the vinaigrette:
