This is a very good salad! I forgot to add the goat cheese, but we didn't miss it. I described the salad as "very bright" in the middle of winter -- just what was needed on a cold, blustery night.
This is one of my go to salads to bring for a holiday potluck. I always get compliments! It's fresh, delicious, and elevates any meal. I just love it!
I just happened to see this salad recipe while looking to see what recipes you have for fennel. Wow, what a burst of flavors! I happened to have some Yuzu citrus sheep's milk cheese so I used it in place of the goat cheese. It was so delicious I had some leftovers for breakfast this morning!
Super tasty salad which paired well with our roasted duck. Followed recipe as noted. The dressing really melds the flavors together. It was a wonderful way to experiment with fennel.
One of the best salads I’ve ever eaten. Great job.
Delicious dressing! Put it on mixed greens with blood oranges and toasted almonds, omitted the fennel and goat cheese, and it was still amazing.
I just made this salad and it was simply delicious and vibrant in colour. Makes a great winter salad while being so refreshing :) thanks from Switzerland !
