  • 1 bulb fennel, sliced

Dressing

  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 2 tablespoons Herb Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  1. Tear the greens into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large salad bowl. Set the fennel aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the celery seed, vinegar and water together before whisking in the oil.
  3. Drizzle half of the dressing over the greens and toss. Coat the fennel with the rest of the dressing and place it decoratively on top of the greens.
