Fennel and citrus salad



Fennel is one of those best kept secrets, not always a first choice when it comes to salad additions yet the perfect ingredient. Fennel has a mellow anise flavour, and when accompanied with citrus it really comes to life.

Fennel is also nutritious. It is high in fibre, low in calories and has been labeled the ultimate digestive aid. With its zesty, palate-cleansing taste, it is a good source of vitamin C and potassium.

This recipe is as simple as it is delicious.

Ingredients (serves 2):
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 orange, peeled and sliced
½ red onion, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
Handful of rocket
Juice of ½ lemon
Olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Slice fennel thinly then coat in the juice of ½ lemon and a dash of olive oil. To see how to slice fennel bulb click on this link. Meanwhile plate the other sliced ingredients, top with coated fennel and dressing, garnish with freshly ground black pepper and fennel fronds. The perfect summer salad!
