Ingredients:

• 1 grapefruit

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 bulbs fennel, tops trimmed and reserved
• 2 Hungarian peppers, thinly sliced

Instructions:

1. Remove the top and bottom parts of the grapefruit. Stand the fruit upright and remove the outer skin and white layer underneath, keep the skin for later use to mix in the salad. Cut the fruit into pieces, keeping any juice that comes out. Set aside.
2. Combine the orange juice and half of the mint leaves in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, then pour in the oil.
3. Cut the fennel bulbs into quarters and remove the core. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to thinly slice each quarter. Mix the fennel and Hungarian peppers with the dressing. Finely chop the fennel fronds that were set aside and add them to the bowl. Gently mix in the grapefruit pieces and their juices along with the remaining mint leaves. Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit pieces that were removed earlier and mix everything together. Serve.
