3. Citrus & Fennel Winter Salad
Mixing Valencia oranges, sweet fennel and dill, "This colorful salad is perfect for brightening up a gloomy winter day," says Alex Resnick, the executive chief at Picnic LA. "Fennel and citrus are amazing this time of year, and I created this salad to highlight their amazing flavors and texture. At Picnic LA, we use exceptional J.J.'s Lone Daughter Ranch Valencia oranges and Underwood Family Farms sweet fennel. Savoy cabbage adds a satisfying crunch, while citrus juice bursts through with tons of flavor.
