Fennel Lettuce Cashew Salad with Honey Lemon Dressing

Written by Published on Updated on October 17, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hi all,

When I was younger I remember my mom always saying don’t forget to eat your salad.  A Salad was a must on our lunch or dinner table, even when we had pasta, salad was on the table.  Personally, I think pasta and salad are a bit too much.  Till the day my mom always adds salad to the table whenever she prepares pasta. 🙂  

Do you love eating Salads?  Yes, No?  Well, I do know of a few people that have never eaten Salads in their lives.  I find that soooo odd.  We were having a discussion about what type of food we like or don’t like to eat.  When the category of salads came up they were no no no no…I was a bit taken back at their reaction, ok I got it you don’t like salads.  I am more of  salad person than any other type of food.  This past week I have been enjoying a variety of salads with different kinds of ingredients, but I wanted to share this one with everyone because I hardly ever mention that I use fennel in my recipe that this was a great opportunity.

But for those of us who do love to eat Salads all year round, this is definitely a must-try recipe..  I love fennel, but if you have never tried it then I suggest you should start adding fennel to your salads!  

Have a great weekend!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
