Pomegranate-Ginger Salad with Fresh Fennel

Pomegranate-Ginger Salad with Fresh Fennel

Recipe by Nancy Hughes

Make this colorful salad when berries are at their best. The zesty dressing will stay free-flowing in the fridge thanks to canola oil’s low saturated fat content. Be sure to place the fennel on the salad after the dressing so it doesn’t turn pink.
