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

    This was my first taste of fennel and it was so good in this salad. Also loved the carmelized onions. They were a nice touch. I made all recipes in this episode for my family and friends and was thrilled with how delicious everything was. We felt healthy with a gourmet meal!

    I made this last night exactly to the letter of the recipe. I was a little hesitant to include the raw fennel but did anyway and I'm glad I did. This is a delightfully refreshing salad for warm weather. The sweetness of the onions with the tartness of the grapefruit was scrumptious. Our guest requested the recipe to bring to a potluck they have coming up soon.

    Was very tasty, but I don't know yet if I'm a big fennel fan. Might make it without the fennel next time. The onions were the best part!

    Awesome salad, I loved every bit of it! The flavors go really well together, I would never have thought to put grapefruit and onions together but its delicious! Will be making again!

    This is one of the most delicious salads I have ever made. Every component is subtly blended to make a wonderful addition to your table.

    I thought this recipe was great. Tasty and "light and delicious" like it's intended. I don't know where people get confused where certain parts of the recipe are, it's all listed above, and tells you what to do with them before you add them to complete the recipe. I had no trouble whatsoever. Thanks Giada!

    Great salad, but next time will leave out thyme and onions. Thyme was way too overpowering and the onions just didn't belong. Overall, though, very good.
