Ingredients

Method
    For the topping:

  • 2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • olive oil to drizzle
  • 100 g chorizo, thinly sliced
  • 1 pillow-pack mixed spinach rocket and watercress
  • For the dressing, mix together:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • drizzle of honey
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Turn the sliced fennel onto an oiled grill pan, laying them down flat. Drizzle with olive oil. Slide under a hot grill until the fennel starts to soften.
Top with the chorizo and return to the grill for a few minutes until warmed through.
Toss the salad leaves with the dressing and spoon the hot topping over them.
Serve immediately.
