Citrus Fennel and Mint Salad
This is such a simple but delicious salad. It has freshness and loads of flavour. Add it to your menu all year round. It goes very well with lamb.
This very simple salad has loads of flavour and requires absolutely no Thermomix! To cut the segments without the membrane is the trickiest part of the salad. Once you figure that out, you're away. This salad was designed to go perfectly with the Slow Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Orange. But you can really serve it with anything you wish. It is also part of the Cook Once Eat Twice cooking classes that I am running in March 2019. If you haven't booked in, the time is ripe!
