This gorgeous raw salad popped up in my feed reader today. Having just inherited a fridge full of beets, and having just purchased fennel at the farmers’ market, I viewed it as a message from above that I had to make it. I hated to cut the lacey greenery off the fennel bulbs, but you can be sure that it will appear liberally in green salads this week. Because it was so pretty before I slawified it, I took a picture of the ingredients. The finished product (predictably) is pretty red. It is raw except I used regular tamari soy sauce and the toasted sesame seeds, are, of course, toasted. I substituted raw agave nectar for sugar in the source recipe, because I just do that whenever possible. The salad has a delightfully crunchy texture, the fennel is not at all overpowering, and the dressing must be experienced.
