About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

Fennel is one of my favorite vegetables.  We ate it frequently when I was a kid, typically sauteed in olive oil, since my mom had it growing all over the garden.  As an adult, fennel has become one of my Go To salad ingredients. If you aren’t familiar with this vegetable, now is the time to check it out! It’s very seasonal, and I love to pick it up from my local farmer’s market at this time of year. It has a delicate licorice flavor, and you can use the bulb, stems, feathery leaves and even the flowers to add tons of unique impact to a dish.

This recipe is a celebration of very simple ingredients and preparation, allowing the flavor and crunch of fennel to shine.  I particularly enjoy this simple side salad with seafood and with pork.  For a dinner salad embracing this wonderful veggie, check out my Like my Shrimp, Avocado, Mango and Fennel Salad.
