Description

This sophisticated raw fennel salad is dressed simply with bright citrus, good olive oil, a sprinkling of parmesan and fresh mint to let the lightly anise-like flavor of the shaved fennel shine.

Ingredients

  • fennel bulbs
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Using a mandolin (or excellent knife skills), shave fennel on the thinnest setting, until it is almost translucent. Toss shaved fennel along with fresh mint, parmesan cheese and prepared lemon salad dressing.
