Apple and fennel salad with honey and celery seed dressing is a recipe that combines fresh and crunchy flavors, ideal for those looking for a healthy and original preparation. Fennel, known for its aniseed aroma and firm texture, is a highly valued ingredient in Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine. Although fennel is not so common in all regions of Latin America, in countries like Mexico and Argentina it has been incorporated into salads and side dishes, adding a distinctive touch.
In different Latin American countries, this salad may have various names based on its predominant ingredients, such as "Fresh apple and fennel salad" or simply "Fennel and fruit salad." The apple, especially the Granny Smith, provides a pleasant acidity and crunchy texture that perfectly complements the fennel. The honey and celery seed dressing adds a sweet and aromatic nuance that enhances all the flavors.
This recipe reflects how the mixture of simple but carefully chosen ingredients can transform a salad into a sophisticated and full-of-contrasts dish, highly appreciated to accompany light meals or as an appetizer for family gatherings and celebrations.
