Light, crunchy, pleasantly bitter and full of flavours, this gluten free fennel salad is a cinch to prepare, makes an ideal side and will be a welcome addition to any dining table. Throw in some orange or apple for natural sweetness. Bursting with salty, cheesy flavour in every crunchy bite, the parmesan crisps are perfect as topping for salads, soups or just enjoyed as a snack on their own.

 
SaladDressing
  • 50 g Finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1 tbsp Flaxseeds
  • 1 Fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1-2 Red Belgian endive, separated into leaves (or 1 medium head radicchio, thinly sliced)
  • Dill, chopped, to serve
  • 8 Anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Dried sour cherries, finely chopped
  • 60 ml Red wine vinegar
  • 80 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/430F. Grease and line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine the freshly grated parmesan and flaxseed in a bowl, then spread over the baking tray in a single, even layer. Bake for 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool, then break into pieces.
  2. For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a glass or bowl and season.
  3. Trim the bases of the fennel bulb and cut off the top stalks and fronds. Use a sharp knife or a mandoline thinly slice the bulb. Chop the bottom off of the endive and carefully separate all the leaves.
  4. Divide the fennel and red Belgium endive among serving plates and spoon over dressing. Scatter over chopped dill (and fennel fronds) and top with parmesan crisps to serve.
