Bright, Crisp, and Refreshingly Simple
This grapefruit and fennel salad is all about fresh flavor and crunch.
Juicy grapefruit, shaved fennel, peppery watercress, and crisp radish come together with Veg-Geez Louise for a bright, refreshing salad that works especially well alongside richer dishes.
Preparation:
- Cut the top from the fennel bulb, quarter it, and remove the core.
- Thinly shave the fennel using a sharp knife or food processor.
- Add the shaved fennel to a large bowl with the grapefruit, radish, and pine nuts.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, then add olive oil, sugar, and Veg-Geez Louise seasoning.
- Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Roughly tear the watercress and add it to the bowl.
- Gently fold everything together and serve.
Pro Tip:
Slice the fennel as thinly as possible. The thinner it is, the more tender it becomes once tossed with the citrus and dressing.
Make It Your Own:
- Add crumbled goat cheese or feta for a creamy contrast
- Swap pine nuts for toasted walnuts or pistachios
- Add orange segments alongside the grapefruit
- Finish with a little extra lemon juice for even more brightness
What To Serve It With:
Serve alongside grilled fish, roasted chicken, pork, or a rich pasta dish. It also makes a great fresh starter for a larger meal.
