I love salads and never have too many.

This is from Serious Eats but with a few changes.

I made it several times and everyone loved it.

One large box of arugula

One small box of spring mix

Two fennel bulbs, sliced very thin on the mandolin. Save some of the fronds for garnish.

Two sliced cucumbers

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 thin sliced red onion

One cup of kalamata olives

Four large peeled navel oranges, cut into one inch pieces.

One cup feta cheese

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Dressing

One cup olive oil

Two teaspoons dijon mustard

3 teaspoons honey plus a little more for a drizzle at the finish

Ten tablespoons wine vinegar. not balsamic

1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper

Mix everything together and set aside.

Mix all the salad greens together and toss well

Add the cucumbers, fennel , onions, then the cheese, then the olives, then the oranges.

Sprinkle the fennel fronds and pomegranate seeds on top.

It is so pretty.

Dress the salad sparingly at the table.Serve the extra dressing on the side.

You can also try crumbled parmesan cheese or blue cheese.
