Have you seen these beauties at the farmer's market and wondered what to do with them? They are full of flavor and they are very versatile. They can be sauteed just like onions and garlic and added to meat and vegetable dishes, but the best new thing I've found is to use them in a crunchy, tangy salad.
Chop:
1 peeled apple
3 stalks celery
1 fennel bulb
1/2 small cabbage
A few of the fennel "feathers"
Grate:
3 large, peeled carrots
Mix the chopped and peeled vegetables together and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a couple tablespoons of lemon or lime juice.
Mix with 1/2 - 3/4 cup of a creamy salad dressing. Avocado, honey mustard or ranch are all great options.
Take this to your next picnic or barbeque. It will be a hit.
