Endive and Grapefruit Salad with Mint and Feta

This endive and grapefruit salad is a refreshing and light dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The endive provides a slightly bitter flavor that is balanced by the sweetness of the grapefruit. The mint adds a touch of freshness, while the feta cheese adds a bit of richness and creaminess. This salad is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or as a light main course.

The inspiration for this salad came to me one day when I was browsing the produce section of my local grocery store. I saw some beautiful heads of endive and some ripe grapefruits, and I immediately thought of how well they would go together in a salad. I also had some fresh mint and feta cheese on hand, so I decided to add those to the mix as well. The result was a salad that was both delicious and visually appealing.
