Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium fresh fennel bulb (about 8 oz)
- 2 tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), cored and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
- Trim the fennel bulb by removing tough outer layers and slice thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.
- Core and slice the apples, keeping the skin on for added color and nutrients. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well blended.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced fennel, apples, and chopped herbs. Drizzle dressing over the mixture and gently toss until coated without bruising the apples.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
