Fennel Slaw Salad

I make this salad/slaw to top a bed of spinach and add grilled chicken to make a whole dinner

Ingredients:

  • 1 fennel bulb sliced thinly
  • ½ small red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice- 1 -2 oranges with seeds removed
  • 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp exta virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tsp. pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 sprig of fresh marjoram chopped (can use 1 tsp of ground if you have to)
  • 2 bunches of watercress stemmed ( I use the whole thing)
  • ¼ cup unsalted walnuts (toasted lightly on stove)

In large blow combine the fennel, onion, orange juice, vinegar, oil, maple syrup salt, pepper and marjoram, toss and let sit 10-15 min.

Add the watercress and walnuts to the fennel mix toss lightly and put over the spinach and serve.

Yeah!  Love this one.  I sometimes use extra Orange juice for more dressing.
