Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh fennel bulbs. Look for bulbs that are firm and have no blemishes.
  • When slicing the fennel, cut it thinly so that it will soften and release its flavor more easily.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to slice the fennel thinly.
  • Be sure to use a good quality olive oil for the dressing. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Taste the dressing before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • This dressing is also great on other vegetables, such as roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or steamed broccoli.

Conclusion:

Fennel dressing is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light and refreshing dressing for a salad or a more robust dressing for grilled meats, fennel dressing is a great option.
