Ingredients
2 tbsp of honey
3 tbsp of lemon juice

2 handfuls of fresh mint leaves
3 lemons

Method
Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Trim the base and top of each fennel head and halve them. Slice as finely as you can into shreds and place in a large mixing bowl with the mint.

Step 3

Peel the lemons, then halve lengthways and finely slice into half-moons. Discard any seeds and add the lemon slices to the fennel. Toss in half the lemon and honey dressing, then crumble in the feta.

Step 4

Place the beetroot in a separate bowl. Toss in the remainder of the dressing and season to taste. Gently mix the two salads together and serve.
