Grapefruit and Avocado Salad with Ginger-Cassis Dressing

This vibrant grapefruit and avocado salad is a sophisticated vegan starter that perfectly balances citrus brightness with creamy textures. The sharp, refreshing notes of pink grapefruit provide a wonderful contrast to the buttery avocado, while the butter lettuce offers a soft, delicate base. It is a visually stunning dish that brings a burst of colour to the table, making it ideal for a light lunch or an elegant opening course for a dinner party.

What sets this recipe apart is the unique ginger-cassis dressing, which combines the heat of fresh ginger with the fruity depth of blackcurrant liqueur. This savoury yet slightly sweet vinaigrette elevates the simple seasonal ingredients into something truly special. Rich in healthy fats and vitamin C, this salad is as nourishing as it is delicious, offering a fresh take on contemporary plant-based dining.
