This elegant vegan starter features the crisp, peppery bite of raw turnips paired with the delicate aniseed notes of fresh fennel. By serving these vegetables as crudités, you celebrate their natural crunch and subtle sweetness, making it a sophisticated choice for a light appetiser or a healthy garden snack. The dish is elevated by a simple, homemade aromatic salt that provides a savoury depth to every bite.
Preparing the toasted fennel salt in advance makes this a stress-free option for entertaining. It fits perfectly into a plant-based diet and offers a refreshing alternative to traditional dipped vegetables. Serve this platter at your next dinner party or as a virtuous afternoon pick-me-up to enjoy a wonderful contrast of textures and clean, bright flavours.
