http://waitroselive.mymedia.co.uk/ – Try teaming with salmon for a lovely salad – the perfect elegant starter. After months in the sun Florida pink grapefruit are at their plump, juicy best – they’re deliciously zingy without being too tart. They are perfect in zesty winder salads and tangy sorbets – Dhruv Baker’s pink grapefruit and smoked salmon salad.
Ingredients:
2 Florida pink grapefruit
100ml essential Waitrose Olive Oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1⁄2 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
20g pack Cooks’ Ingredients Tarragon, finely chopped
1 fennel bulbs, very thinly sliced 12 slices smoked salmon 4 sprigs coriander, to garnish Miso-pickled cucumber, to serve
Method:
1 Peel the grapefruit using a sharp knife and then segment it over a bowl to collect any juice. Place the segments in a bowl.
2 To make the vinaigrette mix the olive oil with the collected grapefruit juice, lemon juice, chilli, tarragon and seasoning. Set aside until ready to serve. Drizzle the fennel with half the vinaigrette.
3 To assemble each individual salad, place 1⁄4 of the fennel on a plate with a little of the pickled cucumber. Arrange 3 or 4 slices of salmon over the top and scatter with 1⁄4 of the grapefruit segments. Drizzle with a little dressing and top with a sprig of coriander.
