Ingredients
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1 lemon , juiced
- 1 small red onion , finely sliced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 50ml extra virgin olive oil
- 25g parsley , leaves picked, stalks finely chopped
- small handful of chives , finely sliced
- small handful of dill , finely chopped
- 1 celery stick , finely sliced
- 50g rocket
- 15g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, thinly shaved
Method
Trim the fennel bulbs and, using a mandoline or sharp knife, carefully cut into wafer-thin slices. Mix the lemon juice and red onion together in a non-metallic jar with a pinch of salt. Shake well and set aside for 5 mins. Add the mustard and olive oil, then shake well again to emulsify. Season to taste.
Toss the parsley leaves and stalks with the chives, dill, celery, rocket and fennel in a large serving bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and scatter over the cheese.
