shaved fennel salad with snowpeas (mangetout) & mint
From Stonesoup
serves 4 as a side salad

To turn this into a main course salad, serve on a generous bed of soft fresh ricotta, or crumble through some sharp goats cheese.

If you don’t have a mandoline or v slicer, you can still make shaved salads with a sharp knife and a steady hand. Your fennel might be a little thicker but it won’t be the end of the world. I prefer to slice my fennel lengthwise but if I’m using just a knife if find it easiest to slice crosswise into fine rounds.

1T lemon juice
3T extra virgin olive oil
1 small bulb fennel
150g (5oz) snowpeas, trimmed
1/2 bunch fresh mint, leaves picked

Combine lemon juice and oil in a medium bowl and season.

Shave fennel into fine slices using a mandoline, v slicer or sharp knife. Toss in the dressing.

Add snowpeas and mint and toss again.
