Perfect Autumn Salad
Don’t you hate when summer is over and it seems like all the fruits and veggies vanish into thin air? But just because the weather is cooler doesn’t mean you can’t have a light, fresh salad with seasonal ingredients.
Crunchy, licorice-like fennel and sweet, tangy oranges are a match made in produce heaven. We threw in dried figs, another seasonal favorite, plus toasted almonds for crunch. The vinaigrette couldn’t be easier and just serves to complement the flavors of the fruits and vegetables.
