Fennel Grapefruit Salad

This is an uncommonly unique salad my cousin Frederique served us in Clerment Ferrand in central France. It is refreshing, crisp and packed with vitamins. What more could you want from a summer salad?

1 medium fennel bulb, finely sliced
1 Tbsp fennel fronds reserved from bulb
1 yellow pepper, sliced into quarter rounds
1 small red onion, sliced into quarter rounds
2 pink grapefruits, peeled, pitted and sectioned, juice reserved
1 orange, peeled and sectioned, juice reserved
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 small red chili, finely sliced (optional)
Dash salt and fresh pepper

Dressing
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup walnut oil

Toss all ingredients together and serve.
