Clementine Fennel Salad with Clementine Vinaigrette

This is fine and it shows well. Quite tasty. Frankly, it's just a bit expensive with the fennel and endive. But if you're in a region where you can grow those yourself, or if they're in your farm box, by all means, this is great! If it's going to cost you ten bucks, then maybe try a different salad.
