When it is nicely caramalized, remove and set aside.
-
Mix the 1/2 cup of apple and the 1/2 cup of fennel matchsticks and marinade it in 1 tablespoon of the reduced apple cider dressing. Taste and add salt and pepper to your taste. Let it marinade for atleast 15 minutes..
-
Now assemble the salad. Put the marinaded salad on to a serving dish. Top with the roasted fennel. Add the shaved cheddar. Drizzle some of the salad dressing around the salad. Garnish with fennel fronds if using.
