Dietician Tip

Fennel has a mild, sweet licorice flavor. Strip away the coarse outer portion of the fennel bulb before using in recipes.

To make this plant based, leave out Parmesan cheese.

Directions

Divide the salad greens onto 6 plates. Scatter the fennel and pear slices over the greens. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and walnuts. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Add black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
