2 tbsp finely chopped green onion stalk
.5 tsp fennel seeds
-
1 tsp Zab's Original Hot Sauce
Salt for seasoning

1 cup apple cider vinegar (you can also use white vinegar or a mixture of the two)
1 cup water
1 tbsp sugar, honey, or agave
1 tsp salt
Potato Salad
Pickled Fennel
Method
Pickled Fennel
Mandolin or finely cut fennel.
Add vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a pot and heat until simmering.
Take off the heat, add fennel to the warmed mixture and leave to cool down before pouring everything into a clean glass jar, then place in the fridge.
Let sit for 24 - 48 hours before using.
Potato Salad
In a heavy-bottomed pot, boil enough water to cover your potatoes. Add a couple of tablespoons of kosher salt to the water to season. Once boiling, add your quartered potatoes to the water and cook until fork-tender, around 10 mins.
Drain the potatoes and let cool (they can be served with the dressing warm or hot as well if desired).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add Zab’s Hot Honey Mustard and mayo, and whisk together to create the base.
Next add pickled fennel, capers, lemon zest, herbs, green onion, and fennel seeds. Combine and taste for likeness before adding 1 tsp Zab's Original Hot Sauce to finish it off.
Toss the potatoes in the mixing bowl gently folding them into the dressing to keep the potatoes from breaking up.
Top salad with fennel fronds as garnishes and serve.
Notes
If you don't have time to make your own pickled fennel, then regular fennel would work as well, but the pickled fennel really makes it!
