Fennel Salad with Lemon Dressing and Parmesan
Report
Recipe video above. This Fennel Salad is a classic combination - shaved fennel with a zesty lemon dressing and shaved parmesan. It's the sort of salad you'll find on the menu of high end bistros and fine dining restaurants. It presents beautifully, tastes refreshing and even people who don't usually like fennel enjoy it because the fennel flavour is actually very mild!

Instructions
- Cut stalks off fennel (save fronds). Shave the fennel and onion using a mandolin, or slice finely.
- Place in a bowl. Add lemon juice and 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
- Spread out on a plate "carpaccio" style. Drizzle with more olive oil, top with freshly grated parmesan then sprinkle with fennel fronds.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
- Serve immediately after dressing as the dressing draws out a lot of liquid from the fennel quite quickly.
- You only need 1 medium size fennel to serve 4 as a side salad. You'll be surprised how far it goes once shaved!
- Fennel salad is a wonderful refreshing salad that pairs exceptionally well with pork and poultry. Some suggestions: roast pork, whole roast chicken, herb baked chicken with gravy.
