Fresh Herb, Grapefruit, and Fennel Salad

This fresh herb, grapefruit and fennel salad is a vibrant celebration of crisp textures and zesty flavours. The natural sweetness of the thinly sliced fennel bulbs is beautifully balanced by the tart brightness of ruby-red grapefruit, while generous amounts of flat-leaf parsley and mint add a cooling, aromatic finish. It is a sophisticated vegan dish that works exceptionally well as a palate-cleansing starter or a bright, savoury accompaniment to grilled main courses.

Quick to assemble and naturally healthy, this salad is an excellent choice for those seeking a light, plant-based option for a summer lunch. If you are preparing for a dinner party, the citrus segments can be prepped in advance to save time. Serving it on a large, chilled platter allows the beautiful colours of the citrus and herbs to shine, making it an elegant centrepiece for any table.
