Prep Time20 mins
Salad
 30 Mirabelle from Lorraine
 2 Zucchini
 100 Grapefruit juice
 150 Blue cheese
 50 Hazelnut
 Liquid honey
 4 Arugula
 Salt
 Pepper
Vinaigrette
 200 Grapefruit
 ½ Fennel seed
 1 Mustard
 2 Oil
 1 Honey vinegar
 Salt
 Pepper
 ½ Liquid honey
Directions
1

Wash the zucchinis without peeling them. Using a mandoline or a peeler, slice them lengthwise.

2

Squeeze a grapefruit and pour the juice into a large bowl. Add salt and pepper. Add the zucchini slices and let them marinate in the fridge.

3

Juice 2 more grapefruits, then pour the juice into a small saucepan with the fennel seeds. Reduce over low heat until you achieve a syrupy consistency. In a small container, mix the strained juice with the mustard, honey, honey vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

4

Mix the whole nuts with the honey in a bowl until they are well coated. Sauté them for a few minutes in a pan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once they are nicely browned, remove them from the heat and pour them onto a sheet of parchment paper. Allow them to cool completely, then cut them in half.

5

Cut the blue cheese into large cubes.

6

Wash the mirabelle plums, cut them in half, and remove the pits.

7

Make small rolls of zucchini from the marinated slices.

8

To finish, line the bottom of each plate with a handful of arugula, then add a few rolls of zucchini, some slices of plum, and cubes of blue cheese. Sprinkle with caramelized hazelnuts and drizzle everything with grapefruit vinaigrette.
