As we come towards the end of blood orange season I wanted to utilise this fresh and vibrant fruit in a simple way. Crudo seemed like a good choice. The balance of flavours and textures works well. I recommend using transparent soy sauce in the dressing if you can source it. It keeps the colours vibrant. I have also tried this recipe with tuna and it was delicious.

This eye-catching salad for two is quick, easy, vibrant and zesty. The bright citrus notes play wonderfully with the salty, rich haloumi. The dressing lifts it with a bit of sweetness provided by the honey. I love to serve it up on one big plate as a main or as a side to accompany other dishes.

A fresh summer treat, nectarines are one of my favourite stone fruits. This dessert has the elements of a refreshing mint julep, with the citrus fruit bringing a nice balance to the sweetness of the sugar.
