"This is a perfect spring or summer salad. Very light and refreshing; but,also very healthy too. I like to serve this along side some grilled fish or chicken. This recipe actually came from the Mizkan website; but, I added a couple of my own touches. One of their brands is Nakano rice vinegar, which is the brand I use in this recipe. Super easy and super quick too! TIP: In most grocery stores, you can buy segmented fruit and pomegranate seeds, which is a huge time saver; especially if you are in a time crunch."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Dressing ... Add all the ingredients to a small bowl or cup; and, mix to combine. I do like to chill this a bit if possible.
Step 2
Fennel ... First, cut the fennel in quarters, then, cut out the small core - it can be a bit tough; and, thin slice. Make sure to save the fronds as a garnish. To pickle the fennel; add the fennel, vinegar, orange zest, and salt to a shallow bowl, and stir until combined. Let it set 15-20 minutes; then pour off the liquid. They can be chilled or room temp, doesn't matter. These can easily be made in advance.
Step 3
Salad ... Add the dressing to the bottom of a bowl, then the arugula, fennel, grapefruit, and pomegranate seeds; toss until everything is well combined. Garnish with the fennel fronds and sunflower seeds.
Step 4
Serve and ENJOY! ... As mentioned, I like to serve this along side grilled fish or chicken. Keep it simple and light.
