A Greek Inspired Summer Salad

RECIPE BY CARTER WERE

Such a perfect recipe to have up your sleeve by Carter Were of @werebros. Serve alongside fish, with feta, rice or potatoes. 

  • Ingredients

    • Fennel, 2 medium bulbs 
    • Zucchini, 3 small
    • Salt, big pinch 
    • Red Grapefruit, 1 
    • Capers, 2 tbsp 
    • Oregano, 1 tbsp dried 
    • Cherry tomatoes, 1 big handful 
    • White wine vinegar, 1 tbsp 
    • Lemon, 2 tbsp juice 
    • Olive oil, 3 tbsp
  • Method

    1. Slice the zucchini long ways and the fennel too. You want it to be quite thin like ribbons and I do this using a mandolin. 
    2. Using your hands, carefully toss the zucchini and fennel and leave to sit while you finish off the salad. 
    3. Cut the pith off the grapefruit, then slice the grapefruit into circular discs about half a centimetre thick. 
    4. Add the capers, dried oregano, tomatoes and pick some tops off the fennel and add this too. Toss gently with your hands, then add the grapefruit and toss again. Arrange in a bowl or a dish and twirl some of the zucchini so they are standing up. 
    5. Season with more salt and olive oil if desired.
