Black Bean and Fennel Salad

Black Bean and Fennel Salad

Black Bean and Fennel Salad

This simple salad is rich in protein and fiber and while it makes a nice meal all by itself, it is a tasty complement to a main course grain or pasta dish, and as part of a buffet. We also love this wrapped in a whole wheat pita.

If you haven't discovered fennel, you should give it a try. Even if you are not a fan of liquorice, a flavour and aroma that is characteristic of this bulb vegetable, you will be delightfully surprised at the taste when it is combined with a good dressing or cooked just right. Fennel is also known as sweet anise or Florentine fennel.

Black Bean and Fennel Salad

The Ingredients

Place fennel and beans in an attractive bowl. Add some of the green tips for color. Combine oil, lemon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Wisk together until the dressing thickens. Pour over the salad and toss. Serves two as a main course.


fennel has many health benefits and medicinal qualities. It is high in vitamin C, phyto-nutrients, anti-oxidants, potassium, and folate. It aids in digestion and has been used as a tonic for colic.

See descriptions of my two novels below.

Ping

A beautiful young woman recovering from a terrible plague fears she is the only person left alive on earth.

Stranded alone until spring with no means of communication, she begins to believe a child is contacting her telepathically.

In a traumatic search to find him she runs into an attractive man with a dark and secretive past.

Swayed by his insistence that her telepathy is imagined and that they must begin to repopulate the earth immediately, Kate is torn between Jack and her gut feeling the voices are real.

The second book in the series is now available.

Ping

The few survivors—preoccupied with their struggles to raise healthy children and preserve what they can of civilization—are unaware that eight-year-old Travis has a dangerous plan that will ultimately change their world in ways they could never have imagined.
