  3. Heat a frying pan over high heat and cook the cashews, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until lightly roasted. Roughly chop the nuts and set aside. Toss the grapefruit, beans, coriander and spring onions with the dressing. Arrange on a large serving plate and sprinkle with roasted cashews before serving.

Lime Dressing
