Author Notes
A vibrant, fresh salad featuring thinly sliced fennel and celery tossed with chopped dill, creamy chunks of avocado, and toasted walnuts. The salad is lightly dressed with a smooth avocado-dill-lemon dressing, giving it a luscious green sheen. Served in a rustic ceramic bowl, the salad is garnished with fennel fronds and cracked black pepper, set against a neutral background that makes the green tones pop. —Mahrooz Daghighi
