Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Fennel bulb
- 2 Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 2 ears Fresh corn
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Remove the stalks and fronds from the fennel bulb, setting aside a few fronds for garnish if desired. Slice the fennel bulb in half lengthwise and remove the core. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, thinly shave the fennel into delicate slices. Place in a large salad bowl.
Cut the apples into thin matchstick slices or use a julienne tool. Leave the skin on for added color and texture if desired. Add the apples to the salad bowl with the fennel.
Shuck the corn and remove the kernels by standing the ear upright on a cutting board and running a sharp knife down each side. Add the raw kernels to the salad bowl.
Chop the parsley finely and sprinkle it over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for a touch of creaminess and tang.
Garnish with reserved fennel fronds if desired and serve immediately for maximum freshness.
