Summer Salad: Fennel & Peach

On a hot night this is an ideal, super simple, light and refreshing

summer salad. The crunch of the fennel & sweet peaches pair

perfectly! There are only a handful of ingredients; shaved fennel,

peaches, extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper. The key to keeping

the fennel flavor from overpowering everything is to shave it very fine

with a mandoline.

• (Side note: It may not be proper Italian but when it's over 90 F / 30 C it's on the menu.)
• Fennel and Peach Salad
• 1 bulb of fennel, core removed, sliced paper thin on a mandoline or meat slicer
• 2-3 of peaches, sliced
• a few tablespoons of good extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and gently toss. Let sit five minutes and serve!
