Sprouted Fennel Salad


Fennel sprouts take 5-7 days to sprout. I did these in a jar, rinsed them once a day.

















"What're you gonna do with them there sprouts?" is a question I get a lot.















Why, eat them, of course!


This is a colorful and crunchy salad with a delicious fennel flavor. Sweet and savory with the hint of black pepper, it's today's favorite.

I'm going to serve it as a side for ravioli with a simple marinara and some fresh baked bread.


















Cut up kale, 2 cups
2 carrots, grated
1/4 cup fennel sprouts
2 tsp sesame oil
black pepper
pinch of salt

Juice of one orange
3 cloves garlic

Mix kale, carrots, fennel sprouts, sesame oil, pepper and salt in a large bowl
Blend together OJ and garlic and pour over the rest of the ingredients.
Mix well.
Let stand up 1 hour or overnight in the fridge.
