Fennel, apple and pomegrante slaw with grapefruit drizzle

I always thought fennel was gross but saw the bulb at the store one day and said, what the heck, I'll give it a try.  Turns out, it does NOT taste like black licorice like I thought it would.  Crunchy and perfect in this combo. I make this slaw often and it is always a winner.

There are actually some fabulous recipes out there for salads and slaws and I took inspiration from a few and started tossing things together.  Here's my result.

Ingredients:
▪️ 1 bulb of fennel, washed and thinly sliced into slivers. Reserve the leafy tops for decoration.
▪️ 1 pomegranate, seeds removed
▪️1 Grapefruit, segments removed and juice squeezed into a bowl
▪️ arugula to line bottom of bowl
▪️1 crisp apple thinly sliced into matchsticks
▪️1/2 cup olive oil
▪️2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
▪️1 teaspoon dijon mustard
▪️the reserved juice from the squeezed grapefruit
▪️salt and pepper to taste
▪️optional grapefruit vitality essential oil to amplify the effects of the grapefruit           flavor naturally
