Fennel Salad
DESCRIPTION

Fennel Salad is a refreshing dish featuring thinly sliced fennel bulb as the main ingredient. The fennel is typically dressed with a light, citrusy vinaigrette made with olive oil and lemon juice. Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley add aromatic notes, while shaved Parmesan cheese provides a salty, umami flavor. The salad has a crisp and crunchy texture.

WINE PAIRING

The fresh and aromatic Fennel Salad with olive oil, lemon, thyme, parsley, and Parmesan pairs well with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. The wine's herbaceous notes complement the salad's herbs, while its high acidity cuts through the olive oil and matches the lemon's tartness. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruit-forward Carménère or a zesty sparkling wine would also work well.
