Instructions
Creating the Shaved Apple, Fennel and Arugula Salad is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Fennel: Remove the fronds from the fennel bulb, then cut the bulb in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the fennel using a mandoline or sharp knife. Set aside.
2. Slice the Apples: Core the apples and thinly slice them. You can also use a mandoline for uniformity. If desired, toss the apple slices with a small amount of lemon juice to prevent browning.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, fennel, and arugula.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables and fruits are well coated in the dressing.
6. Garnish the Salad: If desired, add shaved Parmesan or walnuts to the salad for extra flavor and texture.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Shaved Apple, Fennel and Arugula Salad fresh.
