Ingredients

2½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ x 20g pack dill, roughly chopped

1 fennel bulb, tough outer layer removed and fronds trimmed

80g pack pea shoots

200g cucumber, thinly sliced 1

Granny Smith apple, halved, cored and finely sliced

For the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, honey and ½ the chopped dill; season and set aside.

Halve the fennel bulb, cut out the core, and slice as finely as possible widthways. Arrange on plates with the pea shoots, cucumber and apple.
