Ingredients

• 1 large fennel bulb
• 2 medium apple
• 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
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 0.25 cup toasted walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and tough outer layer, then slice it very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Core and thinly slice the apples. You can leave the peel on for added texture and color. Add the apple slices to the bowl with the fennel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the fennel and apple slices, tossing gently to coat evenly.

Step 5

Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad, along with the toasted walnuts, for a bit of freshness and crunch.

Step 6

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
