Fennel and Celery Root Salad

From the kitchen of Carly

Raw fennel and celery root meet bitter radicchio in this bright, herbaceous salad. Treviso's deep purple leaves contrast with pale translucent slices, while celery leaves and marjoram add aromatic depth. A simple olive oil and lemon dressing lets the vegetables' natural sweetness shine through.
