German Fennel Salad Recipe – Mutti's Fenchelsalat Rezept

Mutti's fennel salad, aka Fenchelsalat, would be an unusual addition to your salad repertoire. Tasting a bit like anise, it pairs really well with apple slices to balance the flavors.

Topped with a vinaigrette, this easy salad recipe is quick to make and an outstanding accompaniment to your buffet recipes.

Servings:

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 fennel bulb
• 2 apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the fennel by removing the roots. Trim off the upper leaves. Cut the fennel, vertically, into quarters. Remove the tough core. Slice the fennel very thinly or use a mandolin.
2. Either peel and core the apples and then slice thinly if you wish to mix together with the fennel. If you wish to serve the apple slices separately, as shown above, then quarter the apples and remove the cores. Slice. 
3. Prepare vinaigrette by mixing together the lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt, and pepper.
4. Mix the vinaigrette with the fennel (and or apple slices) and serve.

Notes/Hints:

• Do dip your apples in a bit of lemon juice/water to keep them from turning brown. They'll look so pretty dressing up this salad.
