Fennel & Arugula Salad with Goat Cheese & Balsamic Vinegar*
Try this plate of crisp, sweet fennel decorated with dark green arugula leaves even if you're a less than enthusiastic fennel fan. Pair with a hearty soup to make a meal out of it.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
| 2 | fennel bulbs, about 7 ounces |
| 1 | cup baby arugula leaves |
| 1/4 | cup extra-virgin olive oil |
| 2 | tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar |
| 8 ounces | fresh goat cheese |
Instructions
- Remove the tough outer layer of the fennel bulbs and slice each in half through the stem end. Make a triangular cut to remove the core from each half. With the flat side facing down on a cutting board, slice each bulb into 1/4-inch slices. Transfer the slices to a medium bowl as you finish. Add the arugula and toss thoroughly to combine.
- Combine the olive oil/vinegar mixture in a small bowl. Whisk vigorously.
- Pour the olive oil and aged balsamic over the fennel and arugula, and toss to coat, season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the salad among 4 serving plates. Crumble the goat cheese over each salad and serve immediately.
