Recipe: Crisp Apple & Shaved Fennel Salad

Crisp Apple & Shaved Fennel Salad

Salads are the perfect combination of nutritious, delicious, and effortless. This vibrant blend of baby romaine, shaved fennel, crisp apple, radish, and blackberries—drizzled with a white balsamic vinaigrette and finished with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt—is truly elevated eating. While a quick chop-and-toss is efficient, taking the time to arrange a beautiful "salad art" plate makes the experience much more enjoyable.

So let's get started with the recipe!

Ingredients: 2 baby romaine lettuce, one small apple, one fennel bulb, few radishes, few blackberries, 2 tbsp. olive oil, 3 tbsp. white balsamic vinegar, a pinch of sea salt & freshly ground pepper.

Instructions: Cut the core from the romaine to separate the leaves, then wash and dry them thoroughly in a salad spinner. Prepare the produce by removing the tough outer layers of the fennel, then thinly slice it and the apple using a mandoline or sharp knife. Finally, thinly slice the radishes with a knife. Next arrange them on a large platter, drizzle olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, a bit of freshly ground pepper, a sprinkle of sea salt and enjoy!
