Shaved Fennel and Apple Salad
Ingredients
1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced. (2 cups) I used a mandolin, but careful! Them things are sharp!
1.2 large green apple, thinly sliced. (1/2 cup) Again with the mandolin.
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
1 TBSP olive oil. The recipe calls for 2, but that just seems excessive to me, but whatever's clever.
1 TBSP chopped fennel fronds.
Toss together all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand 20 minutes (or not). Season with salt and pepper if you so wish and enjoy!
The first time I made this, I followed the recipe exactly, but after talking to my friend Nilu, she suggested adding a little color by adding some shaved carrots or orange slices. Even try adding hearts of palm (another obsession of mine). The second time I made it, I used a combo of lemon and tangerine juice, added 1/2 an avocado and some slivered almonds. Any way you decide to do it, it's great! Very refreshing! I will be making this as soon as it warms up enough to picnic in the park again!
