Method

Toss the fennel in a little of the lemon juice for the dressing and a glug of oil so it doesn’t discolour.
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a small glass or jar, then whisk with a fork or shake until emulsified.
Arrange the salad ingredients on a platter, then drizzle with the dressing to serve.
