How to Make Spinach And Fennel Salad

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry 5 oz (140g) of fresh spinach. Remove any thick stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.
  2. Trim the fronds from 1 medium fennel bulb (about 8 oz/225g) and reserve for garnish. Thinly slice the fennel bulb.
  3. Add the sliced fennel and 1/4 cup (30g) of toasted walnuts or pecans to the bowl of spinach.
  4. In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Garnish with the reserved fennel fronds.
