Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Let the fennel marinate, tossing occasionally, until softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Divide the fennel among four shallow serving bowls. Top evenly with the tuna, marinated mushrooms, torn mozzarella, and chopped Marcona almonds.
  4. 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.
