It’s hard to imagine a more refreshing salad than this in winter, or any time of year, for that matter. The combination of salty feta, sweet apple and crunchy fennel makes for a wonderfully cheerful salad that's fresh and invigorating. The best part? it can be thrown together in about 10 minutes, and leaves you feeling both fancy and virtuous.
