Fennel, Radish and Apple Salad

October 14, 2019 by karine No Comments

This is such a great salad. The students at Sur La Table liked this recipe. We added lemon zest on top, because, why not. The fresh lemon meshes nicely with the tart apples and spicy arugula. This is a great salad to bring to a dinner party, to have as a side dish or a big lunch salad!
