Fennel Apple Celery Salad With Cilantro And Lemon Recipes

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in oil, continuously whisking, until dressing is emulsified. Taste and add more lemon juice and/or salt if needed.
• In a large bowl, toss the dressing with fennel, apple and celery. Fold in fennel fronds or parsley and walnuts. Top with Parmesan just before serving.

FENNEL, APPLE AND CELERY ROOT GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart gratin dish or other ovenproof casserole.
• Cut off the entire rough exterior of the celery roots, making sure that all brown parts are removed. You will be removing about 1/4 to 1/2-inch of the exterior of each. Next, cut each celery root in 1/2 lengthwise. Turn one 1/2 cut side down, and cut into 1/4-inch wide pieces. Repeat with the remaining celery root. Set aside.
• Cut off the fronds and the dark green parts of each fennel bulb, leaving just the bulb. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• In a vegetable steamer, combine the celery root and fennel and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from the steamer and set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rings.
• Place 1/3 of the celery root on the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Overlap with 1/3 of the apple slices, and sprinkle with a little more salt but no pepper. Put 1/3 of the fennel over the apples, and once again sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining celery root, apple, and fennel. Pour cream around the sides of the dish until the cream reaches about halfway up the dish. Sprinkle the top of the gratin with the cheese. Cover and bake for 35 minutes, or until the vegetables and apple feel tender when pierced with a fork or a skewer. Turn the oven to broil, remove the cover, and broil until the gratin is golden brown and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
• Let cool 15 minutes to allow the cream to firm up slightly and serve.

FENNEL & CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Very finely slice the fennel bulbs lengthways (a mandolin makes this easier). Cut the celery stalks into thin matchsticks. Scatter the fennel and celery on a large plate or platter, drizzle over the fruity extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, then season. Scatter any fennel fronds and celery leaves over if you have them.

FENNEL-AND-APPLE SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Trim tops and bottoms of fennels; peel outer layer. Slice lengthwise as thinly as possible. Transfer to large bowl. Cut celery on diagonal into very thin slices; add to bowl. Quarter and core unpeeled apple. Cut each quarter lengthwise into very thin slices. Place in small bowl; squeeze juice from one lemon over apples; toss. Add to fennel. Add apricots and 1/4 cup chopped nuts to fennel.
• Squeeze remaining lemon over salad. Drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper; toss. Transfer to serving bowl. Crumble goat cheese over top; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon nuts.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD

Steps:

• Combine celery, fennel, and red onion in a bowl. Mix in parsley. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix together and let sit for 2 hours or more for flavors to develop.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Put lemon juice, zest and garlic in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil. Set dressing aside for at least 10 minutes.
• Prepare the salad: Place sliced fennel and celery in a salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Discard garlic from the dressing, and whisk dressing. Pour over vegetables, and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• To serve, transfer salad to a platter, and surround with radicchio, if using. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan generously over the salad. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Garnish with radishes, if desired.

FENNEL, LEMON & MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Quarter the fennel bulbs and cut out the cores. Finely shred the fennel by hand or on a mandolin. Finely slice the red onion and mix with the lemon juice to soften the flavour. Quarter the preserved lemons, then scoop out and discard the flesh. Finely chop the peel and add to the fennel.
• Mix the mint leaves into the fennel and lemon. Add the onion, olive oil and some seasoning, and toss well to mix.
