Fennel, which tastes faintly of licorice, makes a great base for a Zin-friendly salad. Prep Time: about 25 minutes. Notes: Paper-thin strips of fennel are easy to cut on a mandoline. We like this slaw after it has been chilled in its dressing overnight, but it's also good after just an hour. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon honey |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
2 small heads fennel (about 1 3/4 lbs. total) |
3 red, yellow, and/or orange bell peppers, stemmed, seeded, and slivered lengthwise |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, and honey to blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Trim stalks from fennel; chop enough feathery green fronds to make 2 tbsp. and reserve. Cut heads in half lengthwise, then shave into paper-thin strips (see Notes) or cut into thin slivers.
3. In a bowl, combine fennel and bell peppers. Drizzle with dressing and mix gently to coat; cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day (see Notes). Just before serving, sprinkle with reserved fennel fronds.
4. Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.
