simple green salad with fennel

This salad is extremely simple and full of flavor.  The fennel is what makes it so good….well the fennel and really tossing the salad with seasoning.

I think the key to a good salad is in the dressing.  You really have to toss the salad to make sure all the flavors are evenly and well distributed.  Then you need to season with salt and maybe some pepper and toss again, taste – repeat.  Too often the salad is not tasted before served and becomes boring and a chore to eat rather than a pleasure.

thoughts&stories

You can do a variety of different lettuces for the salad – pick your favorite.  I like the bitterness of the arugula contrasted with the sweet, licorice flavor of fennel.  It is also delicious if you roast the fennel and serve over the greens.

Wines

Sauvignon Blanc- New Zealand, California, the Loire in France or Bordeaux
