Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
Buckwheat, Seared Fennel, Blackberry, Feta & Orange Salad with Orange Dressing
Using the sweetest seasonal blackberries, paired with charred fennel and finished with a simple orange dressing, this was so fresh and contains all your five a day. Including Buckwheat and feta makes it filling enough as an evening meal or lunch but it could also be served as a side to fish or chicken.
