Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Fennel

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the fennel bulb into wedges and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, until caramelized and tender.

  2. 2

    Candied Walnuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, combine walnuts, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the walnuts are toasted and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula, thinly sliced apple, roasted fennel, and candied walnuts. Crumble goat cheese on top and drizzle with the lavender honey vinaigrette. Toss gently to combine.
