Fennel and Green Apple Salad
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Granny Smith Apples
  • 2 fennel bulbs
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tbs lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp honey
  • 4 tbs olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. To make the vinaigrette: place the honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well combined. Add the olive oil. Mix well then taste. If it’s too acidic add more olive oil and a little more honey if necessary. Adjust salt and set aside.
  2. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the apples and the fennel as thinly as possible. Arrange the apple and fennel slices on a plate. Sprinkle with mint leaves and spoon over the dressing.
Notes
For some variations, add few slices of radishes, a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese and/or few candied walnuts. You can also serve this salad with some good brie and a slice of crusty bread. Allow the brie to settle at room temperature before serving..
