Fennel and Celery Salad with Pumpkin Seeds

This vibrant fennel and celery salad is a masterclass in texture and fresh flavours. By combining the natural crunch of thinly sliced vegetables with the earthy depth of toasted pumpkin seeds, it creates a sophisticated vegetarian side dish that works beautifully alongside grilled fish or as part of a summer spread. The addition of flat-leaf parsley adds a herbal brightness that perfectly complements the salty richness of the Parmesan shavings.

Quick to assemble and naturally healthy, this salad is an excellent choice for a light lunch or an elegant dinner party starter. The dressing is a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette, which allows the delicate aniseed notes of the fennel to shine. Serve with crusty sourdough to mop up any remaining dressing, or enjoy it exactly as it is for a refreshing, low-carbohydrate option.
