3 bell peppers of different color
1 cucumber
1 head of fennel
1/2 a melon
Cut all of these into ~1" chunks
4oz Grape or cherry tomatoes
4 oz crumbled goat cheese
1 T Olive Oil - Vinegar Dressing
Mix
Initial Verdict: AWESOME
First of all - the dressing is really hard to find for us. We used Newman's Own which has Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil, Water, Red Wine Vinegar, Onion, Spices, Sal, Garlic, Lemon Juice and distilled vinegar.
Second - the melon is like - wait what? But really - totally awesome.
Third - This is an extremely low calorie salad that is almost all vegetables AND has different COLORS of veggies. Which is great for health.
The goat cheese can be substituted by Feta or another crumbled cheese. These cheeses have a strong flavor so you don't need as much as when you have colby or something like that.
Before this we had never heard of, let alone tasted fennel. She really really liked it. Especially with the cheese! Bryan thought it was a bit too bitter.
We also made this without the tomatoes because we don't like them. The beauty of this salad is everything is chunky enough you can pick out what you don't like.
It is also a nice alternative to lettuce-ee salads, because we know those can get old.
Final Verdict - We will make this a lot. Bryan will eat the tomatoes and Carmen will eat the fennel.
