It doesn’t take much to turn a flavorful fennel bulb into a meal, a side, or an alternative for ‘coleslaw’. A bed of clean, tangy fennel salad adds a nuanced dimension under a juicy cut of meat or fish - absorbing and blending with the juices and flavors of whatever may be on the plate.

The Carthage Breakfast Salad is a big, bushy, hearty dish served spilling over its plate with two oblong, crunchy sourdough toasts. Crispy Romaine with avocado, herbs, cucumbers, and sprouts, are simply dressed with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, flaky salt, and coarse black pepper.
