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
- Using a wide Y-peeler, shave the courgettes into thin ribbons, discarding the seedy core.
- Put the toasted fennel seeds in a mortar with a pinch of salt flakes and bash with a pestle to crush the seeds.
- 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.
- Toss the radishes and rocket in the courgette bowl and serve on a platter or individual plates.
