I used to hate fennel as a kid. But I only had it cooked not raw 🙂
Now I adore it in salads (it’s a natural diuretic and great slimming veggie) especially combined with apples. They’re like culinary soul mates!

- INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the romaine lettuce into bite size pieces.
- Thinly slice the fennel and apples with a mandoline slicer (I loooove this toy!) and add to the lettuce along with the onion, lemon, vinegar, olive oil and celtic salt.
- Toss well.
- You can also marinate the fennel in lemon juice (with a little red onion) for an hour or two before serving to soften the crunch (which I adore:) and develop the flavor.
- Most of the time I will add some fresh herbs, like dill or thyme and occasionally toss in a few walnuts.
- Enjoy!
