When I originally wrote this post, I was having one of those do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do moments. I know. I'm the worst. You see, I made this insanely delicious Fennel and Clementine Salad as my dish to pass for Christmas Day a few years ago. Everyone pretty much lost their minds over it, in the best way possible. And I knew right away that I had to share it with you guys. So I grabbed more of the fixings, took some photos and then ate it all week for lunch (#noregrets!).

This all sounds great so far, right? Yeah, sure. Except it came time to edit the photos and I realized that I failed to add the fennel to the salad that I photographed! I'm totally embarrassed; I mean, can you imagine what would happen if my head wasn't attached? I'm going to chalk this one up to pregnancy brain at it's finest, since I was pregnant at the time. Bubbles was obviously eating all my brain cells (not possible? It is now!).

So, yeah. It was awkward. I knew I needed to retake these photos because the fennel is a main component the salad. But I needed a minute. Between the exhaustion and discomfort of my pregnant state and the fact life took over, I waited a bit more than minute before retaking the photos. So please accept my apologies!

But, in happier news, this is such a delicious and easy salad to assemble. The ingredients all play deliciously off of each other and in the interest of keeping it simple, I even bought a packaged dressing, Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette- it's so darn amazing! You can get it here (This is not an affiliate link- it's available on Amazon but for quadruple the price which seems silly. I personally found it at my local Wegmans).

You can also make your own dressing. I'd imagine that white balsamic would taste fantastic with this flavor combo, or even a lemon juice and olive oil dressing if you want to keep it super simple.

So here I am, asking you to do as I say and not as I do did and make this salad with the fennel! Seriously, go make it right now! I promise, you won't regret it!
