Ingredients

1 fennel bulb
1 granny smith apple
2 to 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp. Himalayan salt
optional: freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

First, place the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt into a dressing bottle or glass jar, close it and shake it to blend. If you like, you can add some freshly cracked black pepper, but it's not necessary.
Second, rinse both the fennel bulb and apple. Cut off the long stalks of the fennel and discard them. Save a few of its feathery leaves to add to the salad.
Next, using a mandolin, select the size of the blade you prefer. I used the middle blade size, creating slivers of both the fennel and apple that aren't too thin and not too thick.
Shave the fennel, and transfer to a salad bowl.
Then shave the green apple. Place the slices of the apple into one pile and with a knife cut the pile into fourths. Transfer to the salad bowl.
Drizzle with some dressing over the salad, toss, and taste. If you prefer, you can add more vinaigrette to your liking, including seasoning with more salt to your taste. Toss some of the feathery leaves in, as a garnish.
Cover with clear wrap and chill at least one hour or more before serving.
Serve chilled.
Yields: 6 servings
