Good, Solid Recipe

The dressing is flavored with miso, Japanese soybean paste that has the consistency of peanut butter. You'll find miso in the refrigerated section of large supermarkets or in Asian markets. Look for bottled grapefruit sections in the produce department. To speed preparation, look for preshredded cooked chicken breast (such as Tyson) in your supermarket.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups)

Ingredients

  • 2  cups  thinly sliced fennel bulb

  • 2  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper

This tasted good but it just wasn't good enough to be worth all the chopping work: chopping fennel, lettuce, grapefruit, onion, olives, mint, shallots. We did like finding out about pre-cooked frozen Tyson chicken however. Also, the miso (in the refrigerated section of the market) was another good find. It was only sold in large containers so I'll have to find other recipes to use it as it takes up space in the fridge!03/13/06
