It has been a long time since I posted a fennel recipe. For a little while, we were getting several fennel bulbs per week in a farm box. We no longer have a box delivered because Mr. Fearless Dining and I really love to go to our farmer's market every Sunday morning. Our teens are not up before 11:00 on the weekends, making this the best "couple" time.

This citrus fennel salad is a surprising combination that really works well. Citrus salad works together with a lot of vegetables, including fennel!

I have to admit, being a foodie, it is so much fun to look at all of the produce and choose my own fennel for a change.

Fennel Benefits:

I know I have talked a lot about fennel. It has the flavor of black licorice. It is funny how much I love fennel because in all honesty, I hate black licorice. (Not only that but licorice is not gluten free!) I almost always eat fennel raw. For some reason, I can't get past the texture of the softer cooked version. If you are

Fennel has a lot of nutritious health benefits including:

  • Potassium and Magnesium
  • Vitamins A and C
  • Calcium
  • Iron and vitamin B6
  • It is a natural source of estrogen (I had no idea!!)

This grapefruit salad recipe is so easy to make, it mixes up in just minutes. Bring it to a picnic or potluck because as this salad sits, the flavors combine and absorb, making it even better!

Tools:

  1. A great knife that can make thin slices of the fennel.
  2. A cutting board so that your knife stays sharp.

    We love citrus and fennel! It is like a perfect marriage. Usually we make this with oranges so the grapefruit with a little lime is a fun twist. Wishing you a super weekend! Just pinned!
