Method

  • step 1

    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.

Delicious and, even people who do not really like celery, devoured it all. Must try!

Amazing salad with fish, as suggested I always add and apple and it’s so light and refreshing!

Phew! Don't try this unless you own a mandolin! Cut six sticks of celery into THIN matchsticks? Do you have any idea how long this takes with a knife? The end result was quite tasty, but so fibrous that it required a lot of jaw-work. I felt like I was getting my 5-a-day in a single plateful.

Really simple and really tasty (I suggest adding the lemon juice cautiously - it's nearly too much...)
