Continue ReadingShaved fennel and courgette salad. I have a weakness for monochrome salads. And specially green ones. This one is inspired by a salad I found in the new @ottolenghi book called Shelf. It’s a fresh and light salad, excellent served with roast chicken. The original recipe has a preserved lemon dressing. I kept it simple, herby and light. Add lemon zest and crumbled goats cheese if desired.

Make sure to chop all your veggies in the same size and shape- and quite a small dice. I used firm tomatoes, Lebanese cucumbers, white cabbage, a small red onion and some pitted black olives. For the dressing, lemon juice from freshly squeezed lemons and their double in extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and enjoy!
