Ingredients
  • 2 shallots minced to yield 1/4 to 1/3 cup
  • 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 cup Dry Creek Olive Company Pomegranate vinegar
  • 3 1.5 sweet pink grapefruit and 1.5 sweet oranges (we love Cara Cara and blood oranges with this recipe)
  • Dash of flaky sea salt such as Maldon
  • 1/3 cup Dry Creek Olive Company Pink Grapefruit olive oil
  • 4 ozs Arugula
  • 1 head fennel
  • Parmigian Reggiano
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Directions

In a small bowl, combine the shallots, salt, and vinegar. Set aside while you peel the pink grapefruit and oranges.

Slice off the end of each citrus fruit. Squeeze the juice from each end into the bowl of shallots and vinegar. Working with one fruit at a time, stand it on its flat end. Use your knife to slice down around the orange to remove the skin. Hug the flesh as you slice—it’s better to lose some flesh in the rind than to have pith clinging to the flesh.

Squeeze the rinds into the bowl of shallots and vinegar to extract any juice. Repeat until you’ve peeled all of the fruit. 

Working with one fruit at a time, turn on its side and slice down crosswise to create 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the pink grapefruit and oranges on a platter—season with flaky sea salt.

Using a fork, whisk the Pink Grapefruit olive oil into the dressing. Taste. Add salt if necessary or more oil for a little less bite. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of dressing over the fruit.

Place the greens and thinly sliced fennel into a large bowl. Drizzle with a few spoonfuls of the dressing. Toss lightly to coat. Taste. Adjust with more dressing or salt to taste.

Pile the greens on top of the pink grapefruit and oranges.

Use a peeler to shave Parmigiano Reggiano over top.

Crack pepper to taste over the top. Serve with knife and fork. Store extra dressing in a jar in the fridge or at room temperature if your kitchen is cool.
