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!!
