Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 fennel bulb, slice in half and separated
  • 1 ataulfo mango sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp. slivered almonds
  • 1 tbsp. mint, chopped
  • 2 cups Spring Mix
Citrus Dressing
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp. Honey mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Parmigiano reggiano, slivered
  • 1 tbsp. apricot jam
  • 1 fresh orange, juiced
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • Salt & Pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat a grill to medium high.
    Prepare the Fennel. Slice a fresh fennel in half. One half will be used as the fresh fennel. Cut the fresh side into slices. For the other half of the Fennel, slice it and add to a bowl. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil. To a hot grill, I placed the fennel onto a shish-kabob disposable tray so it wasn't touching the grill directly. Grill the fennel for approximately 8-10 minutes. It should have some charring and wilting when it is done. Slice some more if needed and set aside.
    To the salad bowl that you will be using, add the fresh fennel. Add half of the Citrus salad dressing and allow it to sit until the roasted fennel is completed.
    Slice the avocado, and mango and add them to the salad bowl. Sprinkle the salad with pomegranate seeds, almonds.
Citrus Dressing
  1. Add all of the ingredients minus the olive oil. Whisk well. Slowly add in the Olive oil until it comes together. Adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
