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.
