Recipe Introduction
An unusual and exquisitely simple salad with an Italian heritage. Fennel might be called anise or finocchio in your produce section.
List of Ingredients
fennel bulb
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
a generous pinch of sugar
lemon juice
a splash of balsamic vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
Recipe
Cut away the fennel bulb's tough base, leaves and the stringy part of the stalk. Leave the tender part of the bulb and lower, whiter part of the stalks. With a long, thin, serrated knife, slice the remaining fennel as thinly as possible to form rounds and half moons. Set aside.
In a bowl, use a wire whisk to beat the olive oil followed by each of the remaining ingredients. Toss in the sliced fennel. Taste carefully for seasonings and serve at once.
