This vibrant avocado and grapefruit salad is a masterclass in balancing flavours and textures. The creamy richness of ripe avocado provides a beautiful contrast to the sharp, citrusy bursts of Ruby Red grapefruit, while the butter lettuce offers a soft, delicate crunch. It is a sophisticated vegan dish that works exceptionally well as a light lunch or a refreshing starter for a dinner party, especially during the brighter spring and summer months.
The secret to this recipe lies in the delicate vinaigrette, which uses walnut oil for an earthy depth and verjus for a gentle acidity. Verjus, a tart juice pressed from unripe grapes, is much milder than traditional vinegar and allows the natural sweetness of the fruit to shine. Served on a large platter, this colourful salad is as visually striking as it is delicious, offering a healthy and elegant addition to any seasonal menu.
