Preparation

  1. Mix the Grapefruit-Hop syrup, mustard, and oil together in a large bowl.
  2. Finely chop the fennel fronds and add them to the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cut the fennel into thin slices and let them soak in the vinaigrette for a little while to soften.
  4. Peel the grapefruit and cut the segments into pieces. Remove the membranes, as they can leave a bitter aftertaste.
  5. Slice the red onion into thin rings and coarsely chop the hazelnuts.
  6. Add the grapefruit, red onion, and hazelnuts to the bowl and mix everything shortly before serving.
  7. Serve the salad on a bed of arugula and finish with a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette.

Optional: Drizzle with a bit of yoghurt for a fresh touch.
