  • Juice of 1 small lemon

Instructions

  • Begin by shredding the cabbage as finely as possible, a mandolin is best for this job but a sharp knife will do. Finely slice the red onion.  Place them into a bowl and then massage a little salt and 2 tablespoons vinegar into the shredded cabbage and red onion, add 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil, stir, let it stand for 15 mins. Prepare the other salad ingredients.
  • Segment the grapefruit and reserve any juice for the dressing. Cook the farro according to the packet instructions. Skin the mackerel fillets and break up into smaller pieces.
  • Make the dressing: add the miso to a bowl and pour any juices from the grapefruit into the bowl, add the juice of a small lemon and 3 tbls oil and a little salt, whisk. 
  • Arrange the salad ingredients on the plate and drizzle over the dressing.
