Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the grapes, 1 tbsp of the oil and half the caraway seeds on a baking tray and toss to combine. Roast for 12-15 mins until the grapes have burst and are starting to wrinkle. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool, reserving any juices from the tray.
- To make the dressing, place 2 tbsp of reserved juice from the tray in a bowl. Add the mustard, lemon juice, remaining oil and caraway seeds. Whisk well to combine.
- Toss together the fennel, watercress and mint in a large bowl. Tip onto a serving platter, top with the roasted grapes and scatter with the pistachios. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving.
