Rhubarb and Fennel Salad with Goat Cheese
Indulge in a symphony of flavors with this refreshing salad that marries the tangy notes of rhubarb, the licorice-like sweetness of fennel, and the peppery bite of arugula. The creamy goat cheese and crunchy walnuts add a delightful contrast, while the honey-lemon dressing ties everything together.
