Notes
- For the best results for thinly shaved fennel and red onion, use a mandolin.
- If you can’t find fennel, you can use celery. Slice the celery thin, at an angle as a substitute.
- White balsamic vinegar or traditional balsamic vinegar works well for this dressing.
- If you prefer a sweet salad dressing, add raw, local honey. Two teaspoons will do.
- Top with feta, goat cheese, sliced chicken breast or fish to complete the meal.
