This is a really fabulous and interesting salad with wonderful texture and flavor. It’s so quick to make and has a real “wow” factor
Serves 4
1 cup thinly sliced fennel (make sure you cut off the hard core)
1 cup red seedless grapes, cut in half
3 oz green unstuffed olives, pitted and quartered lengthways
5 Medjool dates, pitted and sliced thinly lengthways
juice of a medium lemon
1 tbsp good olive oil (or a little more if you like)
salt and pepper to taste
3 oz toasted slivered almonds
2 oz shaved pecorino romano cheese
Combine the fennel, grapes, olives and dates in a medium sized bowl.
Drizzle with the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Toss to coat evenly.
Just before serving, mix in the toasted almonds and pecorino cheese.
Serve
Thanks Belinda! A really yummy looking salad I will try very soon! I’ve never used fennel, but will buy some today! I’m enjoying your recipes!
