CHEF-BOY-I-BE ILLINOIS' DAIKON AND FENNEL SALAD



Chef-Boy-I-Be Illinois' Daikon and Fennel Salad image

I'm trying to incorporate more fresh, raw vegetables into our diet, so while shopping a daikon radish and fennel bulb caught my eye. I thinly sliced them and prepared a simple vinaigrette. The result is a tasty, fresh salad! Enjoy!

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.
