Fennel, Apple and Micro Greens Salad Recipe

Salad:

• 1 small organic fennel bulb
• 1 medium organic apple (sweet variety not tart)
• 1/2 an organic onion
• 1 tablespoon organic fennel sprigs
• 2 cups organic micro greens
• 2 tablespoons organic lemon or organic lime juice

Dressing:

• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 tablespoons organic lemon or organic lime juice
• One tablespoon organic coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon organic mustard seeds or organic poppy seeds

Slice the fennel bulb into very thin slices using a mandolin. Slice the onion into thin slices on the mandolin, cut into smaller pieces if desired. Slice the apple either on the mandolin or on a spiral slicer (no need to core, just take the stem off). If using the mandolin, cut the apple circles into strips to make more edible sized pieces.

In a large bowl, toss the fennel, apple and onion with the 2 tablespoons lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the micro greens.

In a small bowl, combine the dressing ingredients. If the coconut oil is solid, gently warm to melt. But do no use a microwave! When it is well blended, pour over the fennel mixture and stir until well coated. Serve.

Optional: Top with beautiful edible flowers. We used chive blossoms in the photo.

Coconut oil is an amazing oil, with lots of proven health benefits.
