Fennel, Apple, Celery Salad with Cilantro and (Meyer) Lemon

This recipe is delicious-- fresh, sweet, tangy, and herby all at the same time. The recipe comes from Food Network.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

coarse grained salt and cracked black pepper

2 large apples, julienned

1 medium head fennel, cored and thinly sliced

3 large ribs celery, sliced (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped or more to taste

Directions: In a large, non-reactive bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the apples, fennel, celery and cilantro. Toss until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.

So far, this recipe utilizes the most (four) MA`O Farms CSA produce yet: Meyer lemons, cilantro, fennel, and celery. All of the produce was crisp and juicy!
