You can use white wine instead of rose, but rose gives a really nice color to the dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 large heads fennel, core removed, fronds reserved, and thinly sliced
- 3 large endives, core removed, and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup dry rose wine, preferably Provencal-style
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 small orange, juiced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (preferably superfine)
- 1 large shallot, finely minced
- A couple pinches salt
- 10 grinds freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup safflower or canola oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups walnuts halves, toasted
- 4 ounces Danish or other mild blue cheese
Directions
Combine fennel, endive and reserved fennel fronds in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wine, citrus juice, sugar, shallot, salt, pepper, and oil until combined. Toss fennel and endive with dressing. Toss in the toasted walnut halves and crumbled blue cheese and serve immediately.

You gotta' make this. Even my friend who claims to "hate" fennel loved this one. It's unique, in a good way.

We really enjoyed this salad. It's light, crisp, and very subtle. The next time we make it though we will try mixing in some dried cranberries, green apples, and fresh parmesan cheese.
