Radicchio, Shaved Fennel, and Pomegranate Salad

This vibrant radicchio, shaved fennel, and pomegranate salad is a masterclass in balancing bold flavours and textures. The naturally bitter notes of the Italian chicory are beautifully offset by the aniseed crunch of thinly sliced fennel and the sweet, jewel-like bursts of fresh pomegranate. Bound together by a piquant shallot and Dijon mustard vinaigrette, this vegan dish offers a sophisticated profile that works just as well as a refreshing starter or a colourful side to a main course.

Quick to assemble and visually stunning, this nutrient-dense salad is perfect for those seeking a light, plant-based option that doesn't compromise on taste. The five-minute resting time is essential, as it allows the dressing to gently tenderise the robust leaves, resulting in a more refined texture. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or grilled flatbreads for a healthy, seasonal lunch that celebrates fresh, whole ingredients.
