Great salad that lasts in the fridge! I have made this several times and always to rave reviews. Love it!

Light Crisp and Refreshing This is such a tasty salad. The fennel and blue cheese and strong flavors but not too overpowering. It went nicely with a grilled sirloin. Pros: Quick and Easy

Delicious! I used my own dressing. Next time will make the suggested dressing.
