Author Notes

I am allergic to all tree and ground nuts and that includes most oils and their byproducts. Sherry vinegar provides a nutty quality that I can't experience in any other way. The shallots and orange juice add a sweetness and brightness that complement the apples and slightly bitter fennel bulb. —niksnacks
