Strawberry Chicken Fennel Salad

If you don’t cook often with fennel, consider making it a staple on your grocery list – with a strawberry clam-shell included, of course. Fennel is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb that is incredibly versatile, adding a slightly sweet licorice flavor that can be enhanced through braising, sautéing, roasting, or even grilling. Indigenous to the Mediterranean, most fennel available in the US is actually grown in California – just like nearly 90% of the nation’s strawberries! This nutritious veggie is loaded with vitamin C, iron, fiber, and potassium, plus the entire plant is edible from its roots to its feathery leaves, making it an environmental and sustainable choice for those looking to reduce food waste.

Our Strawberry Chicken and Fennel Salad is flavorful, fresh, and super healthy, making it a great choice for a mid-day snack or light meal.

Enjoy!
