“This is my take on a classic caprese salad,” says Chris. “Puntarelle adds texture, with a crunchiness and bitterness that is needed to offset the mozzarella and blood orange. If it proves tricky to track down puntarelle, then you can use fennel instead - you just need something to lift the salad and give it a bit of crunch.”
