Ruby grapefruit have a smooth rind with few seeds. Their sharp-sweet lift is just right in salads and marmalades and also balances the fatty richness of Chinese braised pork and duck.

  • 2 large ruby grapefruit

  • 2 tbsp chardonnay vinegar

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • sliced flesh of 2 ripe, peeled avocados

  • 20 large cooked, peeled and deveined king prawns

  • 100g wild rocket leaves

    Measure 2 tbsp of juice and pour into a small bowl. Add 2 tbsp chardonnay vinegar and 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and whisk well.

    Add sliced flesh of 2 ripe, peeled avocados to the grapefruit, as well as 20 large cooked, peeled and deveined king prawns.

    Toss 100g wild rocket leaves with 1 tbsp of the dressing and divide rocket evenly among 4 serving plates.

    Add 2 finely sliced green onions to grapefruit mixture and add remaining dressing. Toss gently to combine and pile grapefruit salad on top of rocket leaves. Sprinkle with 3 coarsely chopped pickled walnuts.
