A light Summery salad packed with fresh flavours. The peppery rocket leaves and radish are a perfect match with the creamy tahini dressing and the anise flavour of fennel. You can assemble this salad ahead of time then drizzle over the dressing when ready to serve. This is a delicious vegan salad but you could add a little feta cheese if wished or cubes of tofu for a vegan protein option.

Fennel is rich in vitamins and mineral including phosphorous, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, niacin, pantothenic acid,, folate, choline, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, vitamin E, and vitamin K. It is also rich in fibre making it ideal for supporting digestive health.
