Shaved Fennel and Marcona Almond Salad Recipe
The unexpected combination of roasted marcona almonds and crunchy fennel makes for an elegant salad that’s great with roast chicken or fish.
You can make this salad up to 1 day in advance; taste before serving and adjust the lemon juice and salt as needed.
- 1 medium head fennel, very thinly sliced crosswise (about 1-1/2-2 cups)
- 2 tbs. marcona almonds, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbs. green fennel tops (the thin grassy "leaves"), chopped
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Combine all ingredients in a large nonreactive bowl and toss until fennel is coated. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
