CHRISTMAS SALAD
(for the Green Lovers.)
Whatever winter greens you have...my choices, Turnip greens, mustard, kale, loose leaf lettuces, radish tops and beet tops.
Wash and spin dry, set aside for about 10 min to dry really well.
Add sliced raw turnips, radish, beets and about a cup of sliced, well drained peaches.
Toss and serve with salted sunflower seeds sprinkled over the top.
Needs no dressing, but if you insist mix a small amount of Honey Mustard with a small amount of the peach syrup and spoon on individual plates

The Best Fennel Salad~
For the dressing:
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons organic chicken stock
1 tablespoon honey
Real salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the salad:
2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed (1½-2 lbs)
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
Garnish: fennel leaves
To make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chicken stock, honey, salt, and pepper and whisk them thoroughly. Set aside.
To make the salad: Wash and remove the tough stringy outer layer of the fennel bulbs. Set aside a few of the light green inner leaves for a garnish. Slice the fennel very thin. To prevent discoloring, immediately dress the fennel and mix well. Allow to marinate by refrigerating for at least 2 hours before serving.
To serve, drain the fennel slightly, reserving the extra liquid. Place the fennel on a large serving plate; arrange the sliced peppers over the fennel, drizzle with the reserved dressing, and garnish with the fennel leaves. Serves 3 to 4.
