Shaved Fennel, Apple and Celery Salad is full of unexpected fall flavor
The Lemon-Dijon vinaigrette can be made three days ahead, and the salad serves 6 with crisp fennel, apple and celery.
Sarah Nasello, author of the 'Home with the Lost Italian' column, launched her Fall Supper Series this week with a recipe for Shaved Fennel, Apple and Celery Salad designed for autumn entertaining.
Developed by Sarah and her husband, Tony Nasello, former owners of Sarello's in Moorhead, the dish is a 'cold weather salad' featuring seasonal ingredients that thrive in cooler months.
A food mandoline is essential for achieving the salad's delicate texture, allowing paper-thin fennel slices and slightly thicker cuts of crisp Honeycrisp apple and celery.
To simplify hosting, the Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette can be prepared up to three days in advance, while apple and celery slices should be prepared two to four hours before serving.
Sarah emphasizes that every dish in her series includes make-ahead elements, ensuring hosts can enjoy company while serving elegant, seasonal meals that are refreshing and versatile.
