This was one of the vegetable dishes I served for Thanksgiving. It was very nice and refreshing - it's crunchy with clean flavors, and I will definitely make it again. Maybe for christmas?
I used my latest toy - a Kyocera mandolin. It was absolutely perfect for the job! I used Jona Gold apples, but I think I'll go with something a bit tarter for next time. The inspiration from this came from a magazine clipping - I think it was from Ica's Buffé.
Apple Fennel Salad
2-3 large apples
2 bulbs of fennel
1 red onion
1 lemon
1 tbsp honey
1-2 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
Trim the fennel, and slice very thinly. Put in a bowl of ice water for half an hour - this will make it extra crisp.
Core the apples (you don't have to peel them) and slice thinly. Slice the red onion too. (See why a mandolin is nice here?)
Make a simple dressing from the juice of the lemon, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper.
When ready to serve, drain the fennel and arrange everything on a large platter.
Recipe in Swedish:

This is the best blog concerning foods I've seing up to now. Congratulations, excellent work!
This post only reinforces the fact that I need a mandoline. Very nice salad.
This one goes straight onto my "to-try" list. And I already have the mandolin!
(For someone who doesn't, I think fine slicing in a food processor could be an alternative)
anne, this looks simple and delish! i also particularly enjoy the picture and how you brought out the hints of red apple skin in the dish by using that awesome red print plate! beautiful!
errr... i mean red onion! not red apple!
What a nice and relatively light dish, thanks for sharing!
Enligt Nigellas hemsida ska tv4 visa serien Feast med start 14 december. Hoppas, hoppas detta är sant!! Inte för jag hittar något på deras hemsida...Däremot hittade jag där Leila Lindholms blogg.
Det finns alltså hopp om härliga tvkockar inom en snar framtid.

Juanita - thank you!! :)
Brilynn - it's such a fun toy!
Annette - that would definitely work too, or just a sharp knife..
Amanda, thank you so much! It *was* a red apple though, so I think that's visible in the photo as well :)
Dianka, thank you!
Ida - åh, det vore ju jättekul! Och jag hoppas Leila fortsätter skriva i sin blogg, kul med bloggande kockar! :)
