Fennel, Tomato and Feta Salad image

Refreshing and absolutely delicious, in my opinion- I could make a meal of this myself. Do use a good olive oil, if possible! Cooking time is actually the 30 minutes standing time before serving.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium fennel bulbs
8 ounces roma tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons pickled capers, drained
1 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Trim the top of each fennel flush with the bulb, discard stalks; remove and discard tough outer portion (usually just the first layer).
  • Quarter bulbs lengthwise, then slice lengthwise as thinly as you can (with a knife, mandoline is not necessary).
  • Combine in the bottom of a large bowl the capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix well.
  • To this dressing, add in the capers and the feta.
  • Add sliced fennel and tomatoes, and mix well.
  • Let stand 30 minutes to allow the dressing to permeate the vegetables (unrefrigerated) before serving.
