This fennel salad with pears, apples and mustard vinaigrette is a simple, seasonal salad that is best made with local fruits and vegetables in their prime.

A sharp mustard vinaigrette is drizzled on top, and the whole dish is crowned with perky fennel fronds.

Ingredients
- 1 fennel head
- 1-2 bartlett pears
- 1 honeycrisp apple
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 2 TBs olive oil
- ½ TB grainy mustard
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Wash apples, pears and fennel thoroughly. Thinly slice apples, pears and fennel, saving the fronds for later.
- In a glass mason jar, mix lemon juice, olive oil and mustard (notice that I’ve omitted the traditional sweetener in this vinaigrette – the apples and pears are going to give us all the sweetness we want, so I wanted to keep the sauce extra tart). Seal the jar and shake it well to emulsify the vinaigrette.
- Heap your fennel slices on a large serving platter. Top with thinly sliced apples and pears. Drizzle all of your vinaigrette on top. Finally, cut your fennel fronds into small bunches, and arrange them on top.
