This delicious fennel salad is so zesty and refreshing and goes brilliantly with poached salmon. The combination of lemon, parsley garlic is so fresh and punchy, and is carried through the dressing with our delicious Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil. Our oil is very low in saturated fat (half that of olive oil) rich in Omega 3, and as it is cold pressed it retains the natural vitamin E and plant sterols from within the seed. Serve with our Poached Salmon recipe.
2 fennel bulbs, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, juice and finely grated zest
1 shallot, finely chopped
Large handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 heaped tablespoon capers, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil
To make the dressing, simply take a large mixing bowl and add the lemon zest, finely chopped shallot, capers, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, a generous seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper and 3 tablespoons Mellow Yellow Oil. Stir well to thoroughly combine. Trim and dissgard the ends of the fennel stalks, quarter the bulbs and then finely slice. Mix the dressing and the sliced fennel together and ideally leave for at around 20 minutes for the flavours to combine before serving. Delicious served with our Poached Salmon with Garlic, Herb and Cream Cheese Sauce
