Caramelized Grapefruit Fennel Summer Salad

JUMP TO RECIPE

One of my favorite things about the summer time is the abundance of beautiful, vibrant and sweet fruits. And I'm a lover of fruits in my salad. Fresh, dried, dehydrated, you name it, I love it.

I love the different bursts of flavors and textures a great salad can bring. This salad is one of my favorite summer salads and add in some protein and you've got a great meal! The caramelized grapefruit brings out that extra sweetness in the grapefruit that compliments that sour zing so nicely.

The fun thing about salads is that you can make them your own. Toss in your favorite greens, fruits, crispies. The sky's the limit!

2 Servings, Approx. 10 min
