Avocado, grapefruit and fennel salad
If you feel you're stuck in a rut food-wise, wake up your taste buds and clear your head with the refreshing taste of zingy grapefruit in this salad. It contrasts perfectly with the liquorice-y flavour of the fennel, while its crunch complements the soft creamy texture of the avocado. This salad is a real mouth explosion for the most jaded of palettes. The pink grapefruit is a rich source of vitamin C and the avocado is rich in healthy mono-unsaturated fats and contains plenty of vitamin E, all of which will boost your immune system and keep you feeling healthy.
