Ingredients
- 1 whole fennel bulb
- 1 whole green apple
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 0.25 cup parsley leaves
- 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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the fennel bulb: remove the fronds and tough outer layer, then slice the bulb thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Step 2
Cut the green apple into thin slices or matchsticks, leaving the skin on for extra texture and color. Toss the apple slices in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly, then roughly chop.
Step 4
Chop the parsley leaves finely and set aside.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced fennel, apple, parsley, and toasted walnuts.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a crisp, delicious side, or chill for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
