Fennel Radish Salad

INGREDIENTS
1   cup thin sliced fennel
1   cup thin sliced radishes
½   cup thin sliced celery
½   cup thin sliced red onion

METHOD

To slice the fennel, remove all the fronds and the majority of the thick stems from the fennel bulb. Wash the bulb and, starting with the fronds, thinly slice the fennel using a mandolin on the second thinnest setting.

Using the same mandolin, slice the radishes, being careful when getting down to the small pieces. Use the food handler to get the last few slices of each radish.

To slice the celery on the mandolin, hold it at a 45 degree angle perpendicular to the direction of slicing. Use a half of a red onion to slice and do not be afraid of cutting the slices if they seem too large.

Place all these sliced vegetables into a salad bowl, add your favorite dressing – lighter is probably better than heavier – and enjoy. There should be enough salad for 4 people
