  • Juice of 1 lemon (~1/4 cup)

  • ½ cup grated or shaved parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup add the zest and lemon juice. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust. Should be tangy and acidic, not too oily.
  • Shave the fennel paper thin — easiest with a mandoline even if you factor in the injuries. Large slices you may want to break or cut in half. Add to a large bowl.
  • Add the mint and and toss to distribute. If using, add the cheese and dill.
  • Re-mix the dressing and drizzle over the salad, tossing to coat.
