Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise; about 2 pounds), stalks ;trimmed flush with bulb and any tough outer layers discarded
2 small red onions, quartered
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut each fennel bulb lengthwise into 8 wedges and in a roasting pan toss fennel and onions with butter, oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Roast vegetables, stirring once halfway through roasting, 25 minutes, or until tender. Add vinegar to vegetables and toss to coat.

Tips:

  • To achieve a refreshing and crisp texture in the salad, use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel, cucumber, and red onion.
  • For optimal flavor, select ripe and flavorful fennel bulbs with a white or light green color. Avoid bulbs that are bruised or have yellowing.
  • Choose firm and crisp cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this salad as they have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Use a thinly sliced red onion for a milder flavor. If you prefer a more intense onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10-15 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • Use fresh herbs such as dill or parsley to add an extra layer of flavor and freshness to the salad.
  • For a tangy and slightly sweet dressing, use a combination of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
  • Serve the salad immediately for a crisp and refreshing taste. Alternatively, you can store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
