recipe
1) Slice fennel. This is the most important step in making this salad taste great. Slice in half, and place flat side down.
Start from the top and of the bulb, and create super thin slices! Save half of the fennel you chop for your salad tomorrow.
2) Segment grapefruit. Segment is a way to remove the inner pieces without all the pith (white around the fruit).
3) Toss mixed greens and fennel with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
4) Dice avocado and cooked beets into a bite size pieces
5) Make dressing - shake 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil + juice from half a lemon together in a jar until emulsified (creamy)
6) Layer salad. Greens + fennel —> beets —> avo — nuts —> another small drizzle of olive oil, S &P.
