Chicory, Cavolo Nero, Chicken Salad with Fennel Seed Dressing


Print

Just a really good salad for this time of year. I always roast a chicken at some point with the aim to have some shredded chicken to throw into a salad, soup etc. but some soft boiled eggs would also be good here too. The combo is simple but the dressing really makes it.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Toast the fennel seeds in a dry frying pan over a gentle heat until they begin to smell fragrant. Let them cool.

  2. 2

    Steam the cavolo Nero (use a tea towel to squeeze out any excess liquid)

  3. 3

    Wash and separate the chicory leaves.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl whisk the olive oil, vinegar, honey until glossy, add the fennel seeds and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Add the chicory, cavolo Nero, chicken, hazelnuts and use a vegetable peeler to peel in thin strips of cheese. Toss well.
