It's funny to realise just how inevitable it is that when you first get a mandolin slicer (also known as a 'V-Slicer'), you are likely to cut your fingertips or knuckles a few times before giving the gadget the respect (and caution) it deserves!
Simon has a couple of golden rules for staying safe when using it... and a beautiful salad that makes the most of your amazing mandolin.
Fennel and Radish Salad
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and halved
1 bunch of washed and trimmed radish
parmesan cheese
Lemony dressing:
Juice of 1 lemon
6 - 8 tbs of your best olive oil
salt
1/2 tsp mustard
