Blackberry and Fennel Salad

Prep: 10 mins | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 head green butter lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
• 1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly shaved (reserve a few fronds for garnish)
• ½ cup fresh blackberries
• 2 Tbsp crème fraîche
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and lightly thickened.

2. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine butter lettuce and shaved fennel. Add dressing and toss gently to coat.

3. Add berries: Scatter blackberries over the top and toss very lightly once more to keep them intact.

4. Finish: Garnish with reserved fennel fronds. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
