Shaved California Apple Fennel Salad
This might just be the perfect salad, layering bright flavors of California Cripps Pink or Pink Lady
apples and lemon with the sweetness of cabbage, fennel, and a simple citrus vinaigrette. It’s
fresh, vibrant with flavorful herbs, and best of all, it comes together in minutes!
Ingredients
- 4 medium California Grown Cripps Pink or Pink Lady apples
- ½ medium head purple cabbage
- 1 bulb fennel
- 4 cups baby arugula
- ⅓ cup fresh mint roughly chopped
- ½ cup parsley roughly chopped
- Optional: ½ cup roasted pistachios roughly chopped
- Optional: 2 TBSP fennel fronds finely chopped
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- Flaky sea salt
For the Vinaigrette
- 2 TBSP lemon juice plus zest of 1 lemon
- 2 TBSP orange juice
- 2 TBSP honey
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Quarter and core the apples, then slice into matchsticks. Core the cabbage and shave into thin strips using a knife or a mandoline. Trim and core the fennel and shave into thin strips, as well. Gently toss together in a large salad bowl with arugula, mint, parsley, and fennel fronds (if using).
- Make the vinaigrette by combining all ingredients in a mason jar. Seal with a lid and shake vigorously to combine. Pour ⅓ of the dressing over the salad, toss to combine, then repeat until fully dressed.
- Top the dressed salad with the chopped pistachios, if using. Pour remaining lemon juice over the dressed salad and finish with a heavy pinch of flaky sea salt, then serve immediately!
