Grilled Fennel and Red Onion Salad
If you are new to fennel, this salad is a great starting point as it will highlight the delicious, sweet flavor of this lovely vegetable.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 2 fennel bulbs stalks removed and bulb but into 1/2-inch thick slices
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 Tbsp. kosher salt, sea salt, or other coarse salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper or to taste
- 1 Tbsp. crumbled feta cheese or to taste
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/2 lemon juice only
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan and set it to a medium heat. While the grill or grill pan is heating, brush both sides of the onion and fennel with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay the slices on the grill and let them cook for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, or until they are just starting to soften.
- Remove the slices to a platter and top them with the crumbled feta, thyme, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
Do Ahead or Delegate: Slice and refrigerate the onions and fennel. Crumble the feta, if necessary. Or fully prepare and refrigerate the dish (saving the sprinkle of oil and lemon juice until serving time).
