My dear dear friend took me to a cooking class at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago. We had the best time...and drank lots of wine ;) One of the items on the menu, was this fennel citrus salad. Between sips of wine and hushed conversations I, kind of sort of, witnessed this salad being made. I thought it was a pretty cool idea. It looked easy enough. Then it came time for us to all try it for ourselves...HOLY MOLY!!!! This salad was da Bomb!!!!! I immediately wished i had paid more attention to how it was made. I've spent the past two weeks trying to recreate the amazingness of this salad. I think i finally got it! Here goes it.
P.S. I would love to know what all of you think of this recipe.

- 3 small organic grapefruit peeled and sliced
- 1 bulb of fennel with green stalks removed and then sliced
