Shaved Fennel, Radish, and Grapefruit Salad

This elegant shaved fennel, radish and grapefruit salad is a masterclass in balancing textures and vibrant flavours. The aniseed notes of the fennel are beautifully complemented by the peppery crunch of fresh radishes and the bright, citrusy zing of pink grapefruit. By infusing the olive oil with fennel seeds, the dressing achieves a subtle depth that ties the crisp vegetables together, creating a sophisticated vegan side dish that feels both light and luxurious.

Perfect as a refreshing starter or a palate-cleansing accompaniment to grilled mains, this heart-healthy salad is best prepared using a mandoline for paper-thin precision. It is an excellent choice for a summer lunch or a festive dinner party where you want a seasonal dish that looks as beautiful as it tastes. Serve it immediately to enjoy the contrast between the juicy citrus and the crisp, shaved vegetables.

Ingredients for Shaved Fennel, Radish, and Grapefruit Salad

  • 80ml de aceite de oliva

  • 2 tablespoons fennel seeds, lightly crushed

  • 4 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise

  • about 1.6kg total), stalks cut off and discarded

  • 450g radishes (about 675g total with greens), trimmed

  • 4 pink or red grapefruits

  • 1 medium garlic clove

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de sal

  • 1/4 cucharaditas de pimienta negra

  • a Japanese Benriner or other adjustable-blade slicer

Heat oil with fennel seeds in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat until seeds are fragrant and pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep 2 hours.

While seeds are steeping, quarter fennel bulbs lengthwise and cut out and discard most of cores, leaving just enough core to keep quarters of fennel intact. Cut fennel lengthwise into paper-thin slices with slicer. Transfer to a large bowl.

Cut radishes crosswise into very thin slices (slightly thicker than fennel slices) with slicer and add to fennel in bowl.

Cut peel, including all white pith, from grapefruits with a small sharp knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes and squeeze juice from membranes into bowl. Transfer segments to a cutting board, reserving juice in bowl, and coarsely chop, then add to fennel and radishes.

Pour fennel oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. (Discard seeds.)

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt using a large heavy knife, then transfer to another small bowl. Whisk in salt, pepper, fennel oil, and 80ml grapefruit juice, then pour over salad, tossing gently to coat.
