We tried pulling together this salad for the first time having watched many a Masterchef judge and Jamie Oliver extolling its virtues.  We must agree that this combination of core ingredients works – the dressing can be personalized but the net result is a delicious light salad.

What do I need to make it?

• 1 fennel bulb shaved using a mandolin
• 1 Granny Smith apple cored and cut into match sticks
• Handful of walnuts

For the dressing

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Juice of a lemon
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp English mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

How much will I make?

Serves 4 side salads

How do I make it?

Whisk all the dressing ingredients in a bowl till you get a nice emulsion.  Place shaved fennel, chopped apple and walnuts in a large bowl and pour the dressing over it.   Use your hands to gentle toss the salad and portion into bowls.  Enjoy.
