I’m so proud to be participating in this years Virtual Vegan Potluck with so many fantastic food bloggers! Over 170 bloggers around the world are uniting to bring the veggie-friendly foodlovers of the world some deIiciousness. I RSVP’d that I’d “bring” a salad to this interweb party, and here’s what I’ve created….a little dish that’s quick to throw together and full of spring veggie goodness and starring my good friend fennel.
What you need:
1 bulb fennel, THINLY sliced
1 zucchini, thinly sliced (yes, this is a trend…when in doubt, slice even thinner)
1/2 head cauliflower, thinly sliced
1 bunch asparagus, lightly steamed and chopped
1.5 avocados, thinly sliced
1 cup snap peas, chopped
1 head green romaine lettuce, roughly chopped
3 Tbsp good-quality olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt and pepper to tasteStart by very gently steaming your asparagus so that it remains crisp, but turns bright, beautiful green.
After that, slice and chop your way to vegetable perfection and toss it all in a bowl.Add lemon juice and olive oil to your salad bowl, toss so that everything is lightly coated. The dressing should be SUPER light to show-off all them veggies in their glory, but you could also add a little whole grain mustard to kick it up a notch. Salt and pepper to taste, and bam! You have a beautiful green salad for your potluck and your belly!
Just look how happy this salad made Lori of Crown Hill Day by Day. (I won’t lie, the joy was also due to some incredibly fuzzy socks).
Happy potlucking friends!

Thank you! You guys and this whole potluck are all awesome! 🙂 Unfortunately, the pic is not of me, but of my awesome and fuzzy-socked friend, Lori. She was good enough to be one of my salad guinea pigs. I will pass on all the compliments though! 🙂
Whoa, that looks like so much goodness packed into one salad. I love it!
Thanks, Allison! Hope you like it!
Love that photo of Lori, really shows how delish this salad is!! YUM!
Thanks, Brittany! I’m glad the deliciousness came through. Hope you enjoy!
A lovely & tasty seasonal salad! I love fennel a lot! 🙂 Lovely pics too! 🙂
Yum. I feel healthier already just from looking at your salad. I am with you with the light dressing so the vegetables shine! Thank goodness for lemons. I seriously don’t know what I would do without them!
I know, where would we be without lemons? Probably in a strange world with waaay less flavor. haha Hope you enjoy this!
yummy! looks delicious.
haha I love your blog’s name! Hope you like the salad!
Great salad. I have never used fennel in a salad (sad huh?), but I am definitely going to include THINLY sliced fennel as soon as it is in season again. I like the idea of adding some whole grain mustard as well – one of my favourite dressings. Thanks for the lovely, healthy salad idea.
Oh I hope you enjoy it! Once you’ve entered the land of salads with fennel, man oh man is it hard to go back. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

Looks gorgeous – I love fennel salads and I’m crazy for raw zucchini in a salad as well so this is right up my alley. Quite distracted by the odd adds on your site though – one said “sext your way into a museum and call it art”. Slightly off putting! I love this salad though, bookmarked it to try.
Oh no! I shouldn’t have any adds on here! Thanks for letting me know! I’ll have to figure out how to get that resolved…..
Hi again, Keely,
I’m not seeing any adds on the site, but will you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing? Nasty adds are definitely not my goal. haha
Thanks for stopping by, and please go ahead and send to a screenshot if you don’t mind to yumfortum1@gmail.com.
Also, I hope you like the salad! 🙂

Youu really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something
that I think I would never understand. It seems too
compliicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang off it!
