Summer Salad

I made this salad at work for a cooking class and it went down pretty well. Very easy, good fresh ingredients is the key here.

• 1 Fennel
• 2 Apples
• 2 Carrots
• Large handful arugula 
• 1/2 cup raisins

Finely slice the fennel, apples and carrots and mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Have the following dressing ready made so that the acidity from the lemon will prevent the apples from browning.

• 6tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 4tbsp brown sugar
• 1 lemon (zest and juice)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Save some of the fennel greens and give them a rough chop. Toss them in at the end for some extra anise zing and a nice splash of colour.
