Fennel and French Bean Salad

This would be a great side with your burgers, or pair with some roasted fish for a light supper. Adjust ingredient quantities as necessary

Ingredients:
 
·      2 medium bulbs fennel
·      1 tbsp olive oil
·      400 grams green beans
·      1/3 cup parsley
·      1/2 tbsp lemon juice
·      2 tsp capers
·      1/4 cup olive oil
·      1/2 tsp pepper
·      1/2 tsp salt
·      1/3 cup flaked almonds toasted
 

Method:

1.    Preheat the oven to 175oC. Cut the fennel bulbs into slices and place them in a baking dish. Drizzle the fennel with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss with your hands to ensure that they are evenly coated. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until tender and golden in colour.
2.    While the fennel is baking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the green beans for 3 minutes until slightly tender and then drain and rinse with cold water to stop them cooking further.
3.    In a food processor combine the parsley, lemon juice, capers, olive oil, salt and pepper. Blend until the parsley is broken into small bits.
4.    In a bowl combine the green beans, fennel and flaked almonds and toss in the parsley and caper dressing. Enjoy!
