Start all of your spring dinner parties with this beautiful salad. In just 20 minutes, the standard green salad is made over, brightly colored and full of the season's best flavors. The mild, sweet anise flavor and crunch of fennel is balanced with the sweetness of the carrots and mild bitterness of the radicchio. Deeply flavorful manchego cheese add a creamy cheese presence that rounds out the dish. Pair this salad with any of your favorite main dishes such as roasted chicken, pork tenderloin or salmon fillets. Top with leftover chicken for a wonderful lunch option or serve on an Easter lunch buffet for a pop of color and flavor.
