Orange Fennel Salad Recipe

“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that a tomato doesn’t belong in a fruit salad,”  said Miles Kington. And looking at all the ingredients — golden beet, fennel, orange, cranberry — I’m not sure whether today’s salad is still a vegetable or a fruit salad, but I’m sure there isn’t any tomato in it, since it’s full of fall and winter produce. Warm soups or hearty casseroles are obvious comfort food options when it’s cold outside, like these days, but a big bowl of fresh, crisp vegetables and sweet fruit can be reassuring to others. Tart, refreshing, and lovely with a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt, this colorful salad makes the perfect lunch to lift your mood!
