Fennel Salad with Lemon Dressing and Parmesan

Recipe video above. This Fennel Salad is a classic combination - shaved fennel with a zesty lemon dressing and shaved parmesan. It's the sort of salad you'll find on the menu of high end bistros and fine dining restaurants. It presents beautifully, tastes refreshing and even people who don't usually like fennel enjoy it because the fennel flavour is actually very mild!
