Fennel Apple Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

Apples and fennel. A match made in heaven. Combine it with a bright lemon maple vinaigrette and some macadamia “cheese” crumbles and you have a delicious apple salad that works for lunch or a first course for company! I love the combination of fennel and apples and this recipe utilizes both the bulb and the leaves.

 

 

Fennel is an herb who’s bulb like stem serves as a vegetable. With a flavor resembling Anise, “Florence Fennel” was once used as one of the main herbs in absinthe, a medicinal alcoholic beverage with a colorful history that was once banned from the United States and Europe.  We now know that it not only imparts a lovely flavor, it is full of phytonutrients that have wonderful antioxidant qualities. It is also a great source of Vitamin C, Potassium and Fiber!
