This seemingly odd-flavored salad dressing required no more than 5 minutes to prepare and was nothing less than magnificent. A few spices, cider vinegar, agave nectar, lemon juice, olive oil (walnut oil could be used too but my mom's kitchen did not have any) and dijon mustard in a blender. Done. I even went so far as to use the dressing to prepare the suggested Spinach & Fennel Salad recipe the author provided in the sidebar; spinach, avocado slices, walnuts, dried cranberries (omitted on my salad),
Cumin-Cinnamon Vinaigrette, and thin fennel slices. I had never worked with a fennel bulb before - it is kind of neat with its fluffy stalk attached to the bulb, and my sister enjoyed it and kept it on her salad even though she does not typically care for anise flavoring.
Hi Audrey...your mom mentioned this recipe...do you have the recipes printed out somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI am using quite a bit of cumin these days...said to be very curative for the bodies recovery from radiation treatments..and this one sounds delisish.Aunt Ginny
this was indeed a very pleasing salad. i decided that even though i do not care for anise flavoring in my cookies i do like it in my salad. although odd looking, the fennel was very tasty. if i were as adventurous as my sister i might just make it myself.
