- 1 fennel bulb, shaved paper thin with a mandoline or meat slicer
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon of chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 Tbsp chopped flat-leafed parsley
- 2 Tbsp shaved Parmesan cheese
Method
Gently toss all of the ingredients together.
Yield: Serves 2-3.
This recipe works best if small whole skinless almonds and waterkress are added.
I make almost the same salad, but I add chive blossoms when in season. I break a few up into the salad and then garnish with two or three more.
The light purple colour is fantastic.
I made this last night using grated pecorino romano and navel orange slices. Outstanding! I’ll have to try it with fresh thyme, and the almonds/watercress idea sounds great too.
Try some sweet citrus in there for a real treat, swap olive for walnut oil… wow
This is one of my favorite salads. I like to add shaved radishes, just because I love them. I make this salad often, it’s so great.
Try adding a few dots of pesto on the finished plate for an extra jolt of flavor. Really good!
Excellent recipe as is. We loved it.
I was trying to remember this recipe yesterday at the grocery store, I forgot the key ingredient, parm, back to the store!
Very nice . A regular salad in my house.
Delicious. Tom Colicchio at Wichcraft adds tuna and olives to this to make a delicious mayo-free tuna salad. Really, really good!
Very good!! Enjoying this as I surf for fennel recipes.
My first time eating fennel…I love it! A nice alternative to cole slaw. I served it as a side dish with grilled sausage.
You can also add thinly sliced celery to this recipe. Maybe one rib per fennel bulb.
