Method
Put the tahini, ginger and garlic in a bowl, then season to taste with salt. Slowly pour in the verjuice, whisking quickly as you pour. Set aside. You can prepare this dressing a day ahead to allow the flavours to develop, if you like
Using a mandolin on the thinnest setting, slice the radishes, then the beetroots, keeping them separate until assembly. Alternatively, you can use a vegetable peeler or a knife to make thin slices. Arrange the slices on a large platter or in a shallow serving bowl
Zest the grapefruit using a zester, removing only the coloured part of the peel and leaving the bitter white pith. If you don’t have a zester, use a vegetable peeler to peel, then finely chop the rind. Put the zest to one side. Peel away and discard any remaining peel and pith and cut the grapefruit into thin slices. Arrange the slices over the beetroots and radishes
Sprinkle the zest over the salad and pour over the tahini dressing
If using, toast the sesame seeds in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat for 1 minute until golden and fragrant, shaking the pan often. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and dill over the top of the salad and season to taste with pepper. Toss before serving and sprinkle with extra dill.
