Ingredients

2 large fennel bulbs trimmed and cut into thin slices
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. Greek honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp. mastiha ground with ½ tsp. salt in a mortar with a pestle
1/3 cup extra virgin Greek olive oil
4 tbsp. hazelnuts lightly toasted
4 tbsp. good quality blue cheese Roquefort or Greek kopanisti cheese

Instructions

As you slice the fennel, place the pieces in a bowl filled with ice water to crisp for 5 minutes. Strain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper and mastiha until a unified emulsion forms.
Garnish the fennel slices with the toasted hazelnuts and blue cheese and pour in the dressing. Serve.
Note: You can add a few chopped fennel fronds to the salad, too.
