Salad with Pears, Fennel, and Feta


This is not a recipe; just some things thrown together in a bowl. But I'm posting it because it illustrates something wonderful: pears, feta, and fennel. I've known for a long time how great fennel is with feta; I've also known how great the two of them are together with peas. I've discovered the pears-feta-fennel combination before, but I always forget it. Not this time. I've eaten this salad three meals in a row.

Salad with Pears, Fennel, and Feta

Some spinach
Some lettuce
Cut-up pears (1 per person if this is a main-dish type salad)
Feta cheese to taste
More fennel seed than you think you need (nearly 1 tsp/person)
Olive oil + balsamic vinegar

Combine all ingredients. Toss. Eat.
