Instructions
- The fennel needs to be very thinly for this salad so using a mandoline is preferred. If you don't have one then try to cut it as thinly as possible with a knife. Remove the green tops and keep the fronds. Arrange the sliced fennel on a serving plate.
- Cut the scamorza (or your substitute cheese) into thin slices. Arrange that on top of the fennel.
- Next, cut the courgette or zucchini into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Add the ribbon slices on top of the salad.
- Next, add some finely chopped red chilli, scatter over some chopped basil and fennel fronds then season with salt and pepper.
- To make the dressing simply whisk toegther the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper until homogenized. Drizzle it over the salad when ready to serve.
Notes
- If you can't get your hands on smoked scamorza then a good substitute for this salad would be smoked applewood cheese or a soft pecorino.
