1 fennel bulb, fronds minced and 1⁄4 cup reserved, stalks discarded, bulb halved, cored, and sliced thin
2 Golden Delicious apples, cored and cut into 1-inch-long matchsticks
1-1⁄2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus 7 teaspoons juice
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
3⁄4 teaspoon mayonnaise
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
4-1⁄2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions
