Festive fennel salad with a zesty twist, perfect for Christmas dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lemon, very thinly sliced
  • 40.00 ml white balsamic vinegar
  • 20.00 gm caster sugar
  • 1.20 gm sea salt
  • 3 baby fennel, thinly sliced on a mandolin
  • 100g baby rocket leaves
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
  • Lay the lemon at the bottom of the baking dish. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat until fully dissolved. Let it simmer without stirring for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Drizzle the syrup over the lemon and allow it to rest for 2 hours.
  • In a bowl, toss together the fennel and rocket. Drain the lemon, saving 2 tablespoons of the juice. Give them a quick rinse. Whisk together the reserved lemon juice and oil, then season with pepper to taste.
  • Combine the lemon with the fennel mixture, then drizzle with the dressing and gently toss to mix.
