Fennel and Celery Stalk Salad with Maple Mustard Seed Dressing
Ever feel wasteful by throwing away those fennel stalks or core? My mother always said, "waste not, want not." The core has just as much flavor as the plant's layers, so I slice or dice and include them in any recipe. The stalks have a mellow flavor that is sometimes hallow. Sliced thin, they add subtle flavor and crunch to any salad. Both the fennel and celery form the crisp base of this salad, enhanced by the slightly sweet and tangy dressing.
