Cauliflower and Fennel Salad image

I found this in Diabetic Living. If you need to save time, pick up some packaged coarsely shredded carrots in the supermarket's produce section.

Time 17m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups cauliflower florets
2 medium fennel bulbs
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper (white or black)
1 cup coarsely shredded carrot
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cook cauliflower florets in a small amount of boiling lightly salted water for 2 to 3 minutes or just until tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Set aside.
  • Remove fennel tops and stalks, save for another use. Slice fennel in half vertically to show the fennel heart; cut away and discard the solid core. Slice fennel into strips. In a large skillet, cook fennel in the 2 teaspoons hot oil about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  • For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and the 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk in garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, fennel, carrots, and onion. Add the dressing; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with parsley.
  • Makes 8 (1-cup) servings.
