- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim the fennel bulb by cutting off the stalks and fronds. Slice the bulb in half lengthwise, and use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice each half into long, delicate strips. Add the sliced fennel to a large salad bowl.
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Add them to the bowl with the fennel.
Step 3
Peel and finely slice half a red onion into thin strips. Add the red onion to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad ingredients.
Step 5
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.
Step 7
Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or light main course. Optionally, garnish with fennel fronds for a touch of elegance.
