Orange and Fresh Fennel Salad

Orange and Fresh Fennel Salad

This salad is so easy, refreshing, and delicious! It takes about five minutes to prepare and is the perfect compliment to a rich, wintry comfort meal. I made it with organic Cara Cara navel oranges, which are my new latest obsession. The color is salmony and the flavor is so fragrant. You can make this salad with any kind of orange, though (even blood orange!). And fresh organic fennel is now easy to find in my supermarket, as well.

Pomegranate Salad

Pomegranate Salad

My nephew had a Spanish girlfriend once, and she made a salad similar to this one for Christmas. November and December are a perfect time of year for Pomegranate Salad, since the pomegranates are nice and ripe. Lately, I can even find organic ones!

Kale salad again!” I know. I have a weird family. But it really is good. And easy to make.

So this summer I was determined to make a version that is just as yummy and not as thick and goopy as the usual one.

September Salad: Tomato, Mozzarella, and Avocado

September Salad: Tomato, Mozzarella, and Avocado

We often think of tomatoes as a summer pleasure, but the reality is that fresh tomatoes are a LATE-summer pleasure, meaning right up through the equinox in September or until the frost has come to blacken our little summer hearts. (OK, can you tell I prefer summer to autumn? Although, I must admit, the changing […]
