Perfect for summer, with grapes and apricots instead of the ubiquitous cucumbers and tomatoes. Topped with feta cheese, it’s a light meal-in-one. I love the fact that there’s no sugar in the dressing!

SERVES 5

• 1 8-oz (225-g) bag chopped lettuce or frisee
• 4–5 fresh apricots, sliced
• handful each seedless green and purple grapes, quartered
• 2 scallions, chopped
• generous handful grated feta cheese, for topping (optional, but recommended)

Dressing

• 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed clementine juice (see note)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 full Tbsp honey
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• salt and pepper, to taste

Place all salad ingredients (except feta) into a medium-sized bowl.

In a small container, combine all dressing ingredients and blend with an immersion blender. (This can be done a few days in advance.)
