Shaved Fennel + Celery Salad
On our Family Thanksgiving table this year…
This is a very SIMPLE dish, with a satisfying complex flavor & crunch!
Equally great to serve during the holidays OR the Spring & Summer months.
Think: Easter, or BBQ’S, Picnics, and Patio Dinner Parties.
Great to make a few hours ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to use, which is exactly what we want when hosting a gathering.
I always forget how much I LOVE fennel until I’m eating it!
Are you familiar with Fennel?
Fennel is crunchy and slightly sweet, adding a refreshing contribution to our meals!
Fennel is a very good source of fiber, antioxidants (vitamin C), and phytonutrients – including certain flavonoids that may reduce inflammation and prevent cancer according to some studies I’ve read.
Which makes sense…don’t most vegetables and fruits give us that same protection when we’re consistently eating them? (Yes..eat up folks!)
Fennel is available at most grocery stores year-round or at the local farmers market when in season.
Look for small, heavy, white bulbs that are firm and free of cracks, browning, or wet, “mushy” spots.
The stalks should be crisp, bright-green fronds.
Just like celery; all the parts of fennel: bulb, stalk, and the fronds, are all completely edible, and will add texture and flavor to soups, stews, salads, slaws, pasta, and skillet meals.
Thinly sliced raw fennel bulb adds a sweet flavor and crunchy texture to your salads.
To slice the bulb, stand it on the root end and cut vertically with a very sharp knife.
Fennel stays good for just a few days in your refrigerator, so use it up quickly; the crisp-sweet flavor diminishes as the fennel dries out.
