FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when cooked. Some good options include Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or Braeburn apples.
  • Use fresh fennel: The flavor of fennel is best when it's fresh. Look for bulbs that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the apples and fennel, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality mustard: The mustard you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a mustard that has a strong flavor, such as Dijon or whole-grain mustard.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The apples and fennel will start to lose their texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This apple, fennel, and mustard recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy these healthy ingredients. The apples and fennel are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the mustard adds a tangy, savory flavor. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish.
