We love a good salad that can step in swiftly on a weeknight and surprise us with its beauty for a dinner party or holiday, too. This shaved apple fennel salad recipe is a looker thanks to its thin delicate apple and fennel slices. You can certainly use the same variety of apples, but choosing one that skews more tart, like Granny Smith, and one that leans sweeter like Honeycrisp makes for layers of delicious flavor. A maple-shallot vinaigrette gives the salad brightness and a touch of caramelly sweetness, while a final dusting of toasted pecans adds richness and more crunch.
