Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large fennel bulb
- 2 medium apple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.25 cup toasted walnuts
Instructions
Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and tough outer layer, then slice it very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.
Core and thinly slice the apples. You can leave the peel on for added texture and color. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the fennel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fennel and apple slices, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad, along with the toasted walnuts, for a bit of freshness and crunch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
