Ingredients
Caramelized onions:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 onions, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
- 2 pink grapefruits
- 1 head romaine lettuce, thinly sliced or torn into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
For the caramelized onions: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lemon juice and honey. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
For the salad: Peel and trim the ends from each grapefruit. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a large salad bowl. Add the lettuce, fennel, cucumber, scallions, and thyme.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Arrange the caramelized onions on top and serve.

This was easy to prepare and that is probably why i chose it. But, i followed the reciepe by cutting the grapefruit wheels. And, this became my problem with the salad as the "wheels" were just too large and did not break up in the salad due to the rind that held the "wheels" together. Sorry.......must be a mistake that i made by not peeling well enough???? But, I would recommend cutting the grapefruit wheels into pieces. This my only problem with the salad.......otherwise it tasted very good. Just messy to eat due to hunks of g'fruit.

I've made this salad 3 times now, although I used oranges instead of grapefruit, and have been asked for the recipe all three times. Leftover salad even tastes wonderful the next day!

I do love the caramelized onions in combination with the other ingredients but think the dressing needs a little zing.
