Fennel Zucchini Blueberry Salad a simple salad loaded with fresh thinly sliced veggies and topped with blueberries, almonds, feta and a simple lemon vinaigrette.

We had a pretty quiet weekend around here, hung out at the house and around the pool.  I even went completely lazy on Saturday night and just threw together a fruit and cheese tray, which ended up pretty delicious.  Sometimes those impromptu evenings end up being the most relaxing and fun.

Did you have an exciting weekend?  Do you like to just hang around the house with the family and quickly throw together a no fuss dinner?  If so what is your go to easy weekend dinner?

Shaved Fennel Zucchini Salad topped with Blueberries Feta Almonds and Lemon Vinaigrette | ahealthylifeforme.comI love adding a new salad to my dinner rotation, especially one that is simple to make and the whole family enjoys.  My husband is usually not a fan of fruit in his salad, but he really enjoyed this one.  Adding the blueberries was a last minute decision because I thought it would need a bit of sweet to cut the flavor of the fennel, and I was right. They ended up being the perfect flavor partners.

I used a mandolin to slice my veggies, but you can use a sharp knife, just try to cut the vegetables the same thickness for consistency.

If you do not have a mandolin, I highly suggest getting one if you cook with fresh veggies regularly.

    At least you can get your husband to eat salad! I wish 🙂 Cheese and fruit trays are standard here. It is a great snack without being over the top.

    What a pretty salad! I have never really tried fennel, but maybe I should. I have the idea that it tastes like licorice, which I don’t like, but maybe that’s completely off base. Adding in blueberries definitely makes me want this salad because they are my favorite fruit!

      Fennel has a slight flavor similar to licorice. You should give it a try you may really like it and the blueberry combo gives it an extremely fresh flavor.
