TinaRBK 12/6/12 22:31: Very creative and healthy blend here. In fact if it were on the menu at a restaurant I would surely order it-yum! Also, I envy you getting such tiny strawberries because they are more sweet than the larger ones. The ones around here are getting to be as big as plums and not much flavor.
fimere 12/6/12 22:43: il y a tout ce que j'aime dans cette salade elle est fantastique j'aime beaucoup
bonne soirée

Faith 13/6/12 14:09: This salad looks like the perfect way to use up the gorgeous fresh strawberries I have on hand -- I love strawberry season! :)
Anonymous 13/6/12 14:47: This recipe sounds similar to one that I've made many, many times, but mine has over 19 ingredients so it makes it rather laborious. I recall seeing the argan oil when we were in Morocco but sadly I only bought the cosmetic version (very good for dry skin). I will have to try this salad as I adore fennel and combined with the strawberry it sounds divine!
Gloria Baker 13/6/12 18:35: Angie love this salad!
Eliotseats 13/6/12 19:47: Beautiful salad and presentation.
Cucina49 13/6/12 21:25: Mmm, this looks delicious! I have fennel coming in my farm box, and argan oil that I never know what to do with--this is a winner.

mjskit 14/6/12 16:21: Love this fresh and tasty salad!!! I've never heard of Argan oil and I don't think I've even seen it, but I will be looking for it now because I love mixing up oils and vinegars in my salad dressings. Thanks for turning me on to a new ingredient!
Evelyne CulturEatz 14/6/12 18:43: Great salad! I love fennel, especially raw like this. And I see it beautifully paired with the strawberries. OK curious about the Argan oil in a vinaigrette. Only have seen it for beauty product (and $$$).
Jennifer Kendall 14/6/12 20:19: this sounds so delicious! yum!
Bams Kitchen 15/6/12 02:30: Dear Angie, I am so glad that you stop by my website so that I could find yours. I love this light strawberry salad. Are you living in HK now as I noticed your blog name? Take care, BAM

Jean | DelightfulRepast.com 15/6/12 14:45: What a lovely combination! And I like that the salad is so lightly dressed. Wouldn't want to overwhelm those refreshing ingredients with a heavy dressing or too much dressing.
Karen (Back Road Journal) 15/6/12 14:59: What a colorful and delicious sounding salad. I like the licorice flavor of the fennel combined with the strawberries.
Mary Bergfeld 15/6/12 15:17: What a perfect summer salad! This sounds amazing and has wonderful color. Yum! Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Angie's Recipes 15/6/12 18:52: @Bams Kitchen Thanks, Bam, for stopping by too. I guess that you live in HK, that's why my blog name appeared to you as .hk.

Amy (Savory Moments) 16/6/12 02:11: I've never thought of putting fennel and strawberries together before. I bet it's really good though. I love raw fennel and should eat it more often. Your salad looks really pretty and fresh, too.
SavoringTime in the Kitchen 16/6/12 17:14: Fresh fennel is salad is delicious and I really like the play of sweet and savory in this salad.
Anonymous 20/6/12 16:16: Now that's how a salad is done :)
Amanda 29/6/12 18:36: such pretty colors! :D also, i am having trouble viewing your latest post. maybe this is just my problem...
Patty 1/7/12 17:23: This needs to be in my belly asap! So tasty!
glutwin 7/12/12 11:24: Stunning salade...a "must" this Noël on our table..What would you think of using pomegranite arils or fresh lingonberries...groseilles for the red "pop" of colour?

Not sure about this particular quote from Alton Brown...a tad trop "sexist" in my opinion...although I admire his culinary acumen!..

I LIKE that you always give us something to think about via your finishing quotes as well as something to create in the kitchen...Nourishing the body and nourishing the soul!..Good on you!
