A Fennel & Grapefruit Salad That’ll Make You Want to Eat Healthy

This salad is refreshing to say the very least. Crisp butter lettuce, crunchy fennel, a bursting bite of juicy grapefruit topped with ribbons of sharp Pecorino cheese and a drizzle of honey vinaigrette. If that eloquent description doesn’t make you want to eat this, I don’t know what will.

We made this salad to pair with a crisp mineral wine with fruity flavors curated by Wine Awesomeness. Food and drank twins.
