Method

Trim and finely slice the fennel. Toss with the rocket and herbs in a bowl. In a small bowl or mug, mix the mustard, shallot, white wine vinegar, sugar and a large pinch of sea salt. Whisk with a fork to mix.
Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until it emulsifies into a thick, smooth dressing. Taste and season, adding sugar/vinegar if you think it needs it. Drizzle the dressing over the leaves, toss together, then scatter with the toasted almonds and serve immediately.

Make Ahead

Make the dressing up to 48 hours in advance and keep in an airtight container in the fridge until needed. Put the undressed salad in the serving bowl, cover with a damp piece of kitchen paper and keep in the fridge for 1–2 hours (any longer and the fennel will discolour).
