Here is a vitamin c rich salad for the winter when you can easily get fennel.  Slice it super thin on a mandolin slicer.

1 bunch curly kale
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil or hemp oil

3/4 teaspoon fresh orange zest

1/4 teaspoon salt

pinch nutmeg

1 cup thinly sliced
fennel
1 cup orange, peeled, seeded & chopped

1 tablespoon fennel leaves, chopped

Prepare the kale by tearing out the harder stems toward the bottom of each leaf. Chop them into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
Add the lemon juice, olive/hemp oil, orange zest, salt, and nutmeg. Mix these ingredients together with your hands giving them a bit of a massage to get the flavours going . Add the fennel, orange, and fennel leaves and toss to mix.
