Fennel Beet And Orange Salad With Olives Recipes

BEET ORANGE AND FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Place the cooked cut beets, oranges and fennel in a medium bowl. Add fresh herbs.
• Add dressing ingredients, and toss. ( It helps to warm the honey first if using- I just place the jar of honey in a bowl of hot water to loosen it.) Alternatively, you could whisk the dressing ingredients separately in a small bowl, then toss with the salad.
• Taste for salt and acid. Add more salt and vinegar to taste.
