Why it’s delicious

This salad is light, refreshing, and wonderful to incorporate fennel into your diet. Fennel, when thinly sliced, is a wonderful crisp addition to a salad and works well with the juicy apple and tender fish. 

Helpful hints + tips

I used cooked salmon in my salad, but there is nothing stopping you from rocking out the white fish fillets like snapper, barramundi, perch or cod. The choice is yours! 

The dressing on this salad is equally wonderful and is my zesty dressing. Click this link to access my Zesty Dressing recipe if you don’t already have it.
