Citrus, Fennel, and Pepper Salad Topped with Goat Cheese image

Perhaps it was the presence of an orange in the toe of my Christmas stocking each year that makes me crave the freshness of citrus in the winter. It is easy to find jars of roasted peppers, and the two combine to make a cheerful colorful combination as welcome in the winter months as in the summer. Another name for shaved fennel is fennel slaw.
