Refreshing Green Apple Fennel Salad Recipe

Green Apple & Fennel Salad with Honey-Lemon Dressing

Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and vibrant salad recipe that’s perfect for a quick lunch or a light side dish for dinner. This Green Apple & Fennel Salad with Honey-Lemon Dressing combines crisp green apples with the subtle licorice flavor of fennel, all tossed in a sweet and tangy dressing. It’s a delightful mix of flavors and textures that will surely brighten up your day!

Ingredients:

• 2 medium green apples, thinly sliced
• 1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• whisk

Start by slicing the green apples and fennel bulb thinly and placing them in a mixing bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the apples and fennel, tossing gently to coat evenly.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an extra burst of freshness.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 400 grams, making about 4 servings. Each serving is around 100 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per serving.

One unique tip for this salad is to add a handful of toasted walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. It adds a lovely contrast to the crisp apples and fennel, taking this salad to the next level.
