Nutritional values

The unsaturated fatty acids from olive oil protect the heart, inhibit inflammation and regulate cholesterol levels. Fennel provides plenty of potassium, which keeps the body's fluid balance.

Simple fennel salad tastes just as good as a main course as it does as a side dish. Focaccia goes perfectly with it and brings Mediterranean vacation flair to the plate.

Preparation steps

1.

Clean the fennel bulbs, wash them, cut them in half lengthwise and set aside the fennel greens for garnish. Brush the cut surfaces of the fennel with a little lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let stand for about 30 minutes.

2.

In the meantime, cook peas in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain well. Wash thyme, shake dry and pluck off leaves. Mix remaining lemon juice, remaining olive oil, thyme and mustard to a dressing.

3.

Grill fennel halves in 2 portions, one after the other, in a hot grill pan on both sides for a total of 5-7 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, grate cheese and crumble feta.

4.

Arrange fennel halves, peas and olives on a platter. Drizzle simple fennel salad with dressing, sprinkle with cheese and season with salt and pepper.
