Equipment

  • Mandolin
  • Sharp knife
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 0.5 medium English cucumber finely sliced
  • 1 small fennel bulb stalks and fronds removed, finely sliced

Dressings

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper optional

Herbs

  • 2 tablespoon dill diced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prepare the fennel by slicing off the stalks and fronds. Slice lengthways through the root. Then finely slice horizontally with a sharp knife or use a mandolin.
  • Slice the cucumber lengthways, then slice into half moon shapes. If you wish, you can remove the seeds with a small spoon or peel the cucumber.
  • Combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, diced dill, honey, salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir or whisk to combine.
  • Add all the salad ingredients to a bowl and toss to coat the vegetables in the dill dressing. Adjust with more salt or black pepper to taste.

Notes

English cucumber and Persian cucumbers have thin edible skin, so peeling is optional. Scooping out seeds is a personal choice. Best to slice fennel shortly before serving to prevent browning. Adjust dressing to taste preference.
