My dad has a red grapefruit tree and shares his crop with me. I toss the grapefruit with onion, fennel and mint for a fresh, fabulous salad. —Catherine Wilkinson, Dewey, Arizona

Ingredients

1 medium red grapefruit
1 medium fennel bulb, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
VINAIGRETTE:
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons honey
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of the grapefruit; stand grapefruit upright on a cutting board. With a knife, cut off peel and outer membrane from grapefruit. Cut along the membrane of each segment to remove fruit. Arrange fennel, grapefruit and onion on a serving platter.
Place mint, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper in a small food processor; cover and process until mint is finely chopped. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Drizzle over salad.
