Ingredients

    Like Marmite, fennel is something that you either love or hate – its strong aniseed…

    A collection of long, thick, juicy stalks around a central, tender heart, celery ranges in…

  • 3-4 tbsp fruity extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Very finely slice the fennel bulbs lengthways (a mandolin makes this easier). Cut the celery stalks into thin matchsticks. Scatter the fennel and celery on a large plate or platter, drizzle over the fruity extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, then season. Scatter any fennel fronds and celery leaves over if you have them.

Really simple and really tasty (I suggest adding the lemon juice cautiously - it's nearly too much...)

Excellent salad side dish. Have converted 5 others to the wonders of this Fennel recipe.

Never used fennel before so tasted a bit whilst chopping and hated it! Carried on with this recipe anyway and the end result was delicious - the lemon juice and oil really complement the fennel well. I actually polished off the bowl! Next time I might try adding sliced green apple.

This is nice with a packet of cherry tomatoes (halved) and smoked Mackerel mixed in together with the fennel and celery.

Made this as a side dish to pizza and melanzane parmigiana. Chose it because I thought it would be okay to make ahead. Made it 2 hrs ahead of dinner and it was still nice and crisp and fresh.

Used the cucumber as well as the celery and the lemon-infused oil as others suggested and it was very good.

Add some very finely sliced green apples, ( skin on) to this salad for a refreshing alternative. A small handful of cumin seeds adds another dimension. Enjoy :)
