Looking for a unique flavor combo in a dish that is easy to prepare? Look now farther. Laurie developed this recipe for all the overwhelmed fennel gardeners who don’t know what to do with their bountiful fennel crops this time of year. Fennel is closely related to parsley, dill, carrots and coriander as it is in the Umbellifereae family. (What a fun word to say and type!).  I used the bulb for this recipe, although the bulb, stalks and leaves are all edible. It is slightly sweet and provides a refreshing flavor and crunch to any dish.

  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh fennel, sliced julienne
  • 3 cups cantaloupe, cubed
  • 6 cups salad greens

 

Whisk together lime juice, honey, salt and pepper in large bowl. Add fennel and melon and toss to evenly coat. Arrange fennel mixture on lettuce and serve immediately. Makes four servings.

Fennel Melon Salad – the honey lime dressing would be a perfect accompaniment to your favorite fruit salad.

How lucky am I. I gained David my son in law and his whole famly. We invited David’s brother in law Brent Vargo for dinner when he was in Minneapolis for a job interview. I paired the fruity Fennel Melon Salad with the spicy Poblano Stuff Peppers. They loved it!

September is National Honey Month. Read my favorite two ingredient recipe and why I love honey.
