Fennel Slaw with Mint Vinaigrette Recipe

The sugar helps bring out the natural sweetness of the fennel, don't leave out!

Ingredients

1 fennel bulb
1 Tbsp sugar
4 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 Tbsp minced shallot or onion
Method
1 Make the vinaigrette. Put the lemon juice, shallot, mustard, salt, sugar and mint in a blender and pulse briefly to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until it is well combined.

2 Using a mandoline, shave the fennel into 1/8 inch slices starting from the bottom of the bulb. Don't worry about coring the fennel bulb, it's unnecessary. If you don’t have a mandoline, slice the bulb as thin as you can. Chop some of the fennel fronds as well to toss in with the salad.

3 Toss with the fennel and marinate for at least an hour. Serve this salad either cold or at room temperature.

Serves 4-6.
