Salad Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Lettuce
Rinse the Little Gem lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
Slice the Radishes
Wash the radishes and slice them thinly. Add the radish slices to the bowl with the lettuce.
Prepare the Fennel
Trim the fennel bulb by cutting off the stalks and the root end. Slice the fennel bulb thinly and add it to the salad bowl.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the salad. If desired, you can toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet over medium heat until golden for added flavor.
Dress the Salad
Pour the poppyseed dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine all the components without bruising the lettuce.
Serve
Serve the salad immediately in the large bowl or transfer to individual plates for a family-style presentation.
