Florence Fennel
|
Fennel doesn't get the attention it deserves here in the states! In Mediterranean countries it is a very popular vegetable. Fennel can be enjoyed raw or cooked and is wonderful in pasta dishes, soups, etc. If you are not familiar with this lovely delicate vegetable try this salad. If you're already a fan send us your favorite recipes!Fennel and Apple Salad Wash and trim Salad Greens of your choice, Florence Fennel (1 for 2 people, 2 for 4 people), Apples (also 1 for 2 people, etc.) and three Green Onions. Arrange Salad Greens in serving bowl. Wash, trim and slice into thin slivers the bulb end of Florence Fennel. Finely chop a few of the fern-like frond ends for the salad. Slice 1-2 Apples thinly, chop both white and green parts of the Green Onions. Mix Fennel, fronds, Apple and Onions in a bowl. Add Vinaigrette and toss. Scoop onto the Salad Greens, toss and serve.
*The only part of the Florence Fennel that is a little tough to eat raw is the stem: save these for soup stock or finely chop and use for cooked dishes.
