We already have our Veg black bean burgers sitting in a freezer and Veg chocolate mousse cake waiting to shine. How about some quick citrus salad to refresh yourself during this unbearable hit wave? Here you go, my friends! Fennel celery citrus salad that has a unique flavor and is very sophisticated.
Think thin, transparent ribbons of fennel and celery covered with juicy pieces of orange, scattered with refreshing mint and drizzled with citrus vinaigrette. This salad complements any seafood, pasta dish or any eggplant recipes. It takes a couple of minutes to put it together and it is one of those easiest recipes to wow your crowd.
Life is about trying new things and this salad might transform you into a club of Middle Eastern Cuisine lovers. If it does, try making the recipe of Za’atar salad. You will thank me later.
After eating this incredible meal, you will become a pinch happier, I promise!
Bon Appétit!
