The fennel, orange, and fresh cheese salad is a light and complete meal that you can prepare when you come home late from work and have little time for lunch.
A balanced alternative for your lunch break at work instead of the usual sandwiches.
Rich salads are usually prepared in the summer, but even in winter, you can create delicious combinations.
Perfect for those on a diet since 100g of fennel contains only 31 kcal, has a high water content, and is rich in fiber.
Combined with oranges that offer a good dose of vitamins, we can call these two ingredients a winning combination for our health.
