Ingredients

  • 2 courgettes, topped and tailed
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds, toasted
  • sea salt flakes
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ x 31g pack basil, chopped
  • 100g radishes
  • 2 handfuls of rocket

Step by step

  1. Using a wide Y-peeler, shave the courgettes into thin ribbons, discarding the seedy core.
  2. Put the toasted fennel seeds in a mortar with a pinch of salt flakes and bash with a pestle to crush the seeds.
  3. Tip into a large bowl and whisk in the mustard, vinegar and sugar; slowly drizzle in the olive oil, continually whisking to make a dressing. Season with black pepper, stir in the basil and tip in the courgette ribbons. Toss well and leave to marinate for a few minutes while you trim and finely slice the radishes.
  4. Toss the radishes and rocket in the courgette bowl and serve on a platter or individual plates.
