Fennel, Arugula, and Cherry Salad

Prep Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 6 tbsp light olive oil
  • 4 cups baby arugula, lightly packed
  • 1 fennel bulb, thinly shaved
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
  • ½ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl, combine the white balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, kosher salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the honey is dissolved. Slowly add the light olive oil, whisking constantly. Keep whisking until the dressing comes together and is fully emulsified.
  • Cut off the stalks of the fennel bulb. Use a mandolin slicer to thinly shave the fennel. Pit and halve the cherries. If needed, toast the hazelnuts according to the directions above. Chop the toasted hazelnuts and crumble the feta cheese.
  • In a serving bowl, combine the fennel and arugula. Add half the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Top with the cherries, hazelnuts, and feta cheese. Drizzle with more of the vinaigrette, tossing lightly to mix the salad. Enjoy!
