Fennel is Back!

Fennel is back for a couple of weeks. I find it interesting that veggies mature successfully along with other veggies of the same season. So, as it is with fennel. One of my favorite things to do with fennel in the fall is to make a salad called Radicchio, Fennel and Apple Salad. The sweet/tart/bitter combo of this salad is so wonderful! Salmon and fennel go great together as in the Salmon and Fennel with Roasted Lemon Vinaigrette. Fennel also pairs really well with lentils - try the Lentil Salad with Fennel and Herbs - pair it with a nice piece of fish or chicken. There are several additional recipes on this site as well, just type "fennel" into the search bar and hit submit. To make it even simpler, just cut the sections of fennel into individual pieces and eat raw - it makes for a very healthy and licorice tasting snack!

Fennel can be stored for a couple of weeks when placed in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge.
