Ingredients
Instructions
- Toss the fennel with the white wine vinegar, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Use your hands to make sure it is well coated.
- Let the fennel marinate, tossing occasionally, until softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Divide the fennel among four shallow serving bowls. Top evenly with the tuna, marinated mushrooms, torn mozzarella, and chopped Marcona almonds.
- Drizzle with the Cidery Dijon Vinaigrette and finish with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Tips and Storage
- Use a mandoline or food processor to slice the fennel paper-thin.
- Marinate the fennel for the full 15 to 20 minutes so it softens and loses its raw edge.
- Store-bought marinated mushrooms work well when time is short; avocado or canned white beans also make good substitutions.
- Refrigerate components separately for up to 2 days and assemble just before serving.
