I love combining fennel with fruit. This time, I combined it with strawberries and apple for this fruity, refreshing salad. Do buy the strawberries and apple organic if you can; both strawberries and apples always make it to dirty dozen list of foods with the highest amounts of pesticide residue (http://www.thedailygreen.com/healthy-eating/eat-safe/dirty-dozen-foods#fbIndex1).
STRAWFENNY
1 small fennel bulb OR half of a large bulb
15 strawberries
1 small, sweet apple
large handful of unshelled hazelnuts
extra virgin olive oil
freshly squeezed lemon juice
sea salt
chilli powder
1. Mix some freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and a pinch of chilli powder, and let the salad sauce stand while you are preparing the salad.
2. Wash and trim the fennel bulb, cut it in half and slice it as thinly as you can.
3. Wash the apple and cut it into small pieces.
4. Wash and trim the strawberries, and cut them in half.
5. Shell the hazelnuts and cut them in half (unless they are very small).
6. Mix the fennel, the strawberries, the apple and the hazelnuts well, and serve with the salad sauce.
