About

A sprightly toss of pink shrimp, bitter Belgian endive crescents, and sweet apple slivers is accented with briny salicornia “twiglets.” The bright green vinaigrette adds lemony and herbal notes. Plan to chill the components for an hour or more.

Method

Combine water and fennel seeds in medium skillet. Cover and simmer while you trim salicornia: As needed, remove rootlets and any dark bases from salicornia. Cut plants into 1½-inch sections.
Add salicornia to water and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring. Lift out with skimmer (do not drain skillet). Refresh in cold water, drain, and pat dry. Refrigerate.<
