    Grilled Fennel Salad With Easy Red Currant Dressing

    Fennel salad: an easy salad, packed with vitamins and minerals, the perfect wintery side dish!

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I made a commitment at the beginning of this year, or better, I wrote it on my Bullet Journal and now I'm trying to stick with it: I want to really focus on my health, be it nutrition or exercise.
    One of my goals is to eat more veggies (and post more veggies here on the blog), walk everyday and work out/do some yoga every day or every other day.

    Are you with me?

    Grilled fennel salad is the perfect Winter salad!

    P.S. I've been walking everyday since January 1 and me and my community on Instagram also decided to use an hashtag to motivate each other: it's called #healthylittlewalks. Check it out on IG and please join us!

    More veggies, more salads...it's easy with this grilled fennel salad!

    Don't forget to garish with some seeds!

    More veggies means more roasted vegetables (check these wintery veggies here, and these delicious Brussels Sprouts here!) and more raw veggies and salads as well.
    Today's grilled fennel salad is a combination: to make it more dynamic (is it a word for salads?!) I decided to mix raw fennel and grilled fennel, to feel the crunchiness of it, but the caramelized part as well. And, oh my gosh that was gooood!

    A combination of grilled and raw fennel, just perfection!

    To give a twist? I added some grapefruit and created a super quick red currants dressing with honey and extra virgin olive oil. I'm sure I'll use it everywhere from now on!
    When I first tried it I was blown away by the flavor: an assault on the senses. The sourness of both the grapefruit and the currants and the sweetness of the honey and slightly caramelized grilled fennel were... just perfect! And so refreshing as well!

    That sauce, I swear, it's just amazing!

    I'm begging you: try it!

    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 15 minutes minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 Fennel
    • half a Grapefruit
    For the dressing:
    • 15 gr Red currants (fresh or frozen)
    • 10 gr Extra virgin olive oil
    • 10 gr Honey
    • Salt
    • a bit of Water
    To garnish:
    • Walnuts
    • Seeds

    Instructions

    • Heat up a cast iron grill pan.
    • Clean your fennel and slice it. You can grill all your fennel or keep one half raw like I did with my salad.
    • Grill your fennel at medium low heat for some minutes.
    • In the meantime prepare the red currants dressing: in a bowl combine red currants, oil, honey, a bit of water and salt, then stir until you get a creamy consistency.
    • Supreme your grapefruit: cut off the ends and slice off the peel following the contours. Rotate the grapefruit and repeat until all the peel is removed. Then slice it.
    • In a big bowl or a plate, put fennel and grapefruit and season with the dressing. Your salad is ready!
