Mozzarella with Grilled Fennel Salad

I was given a couple of bulbs of fennel this week by my colleague. I gratefully accepted them and then proceeded to search for recipes. My recipe books didn't come up with very much. I wanted something simple so I went for this simple mozzarella with grilled fennel salad recipe by Nigel Slater. 

I didn't have much luck with the fennel grilling but it was OK. I got some great olives, green not black though as the recipe suggested and they kind of stole the show.

I served the salad with potato salad, fresh home made bread and cheese and then we had some houmous afterwards as it wasn't quite ready.

Salad, Potato Salad, Quorn Burger and Veggie Sausages

Having subsisted on crumpets for the whole day I decided that I should really try and balance out my intake of the basic food groups. I grilled us up some Quorn burgers and Linda McCartney sausages and made myself a burger using my home made bread, it was very tasty. 

 I used up the remaining, delicious, Devon new potatoes by making them into a potato salad with some light mayonnaise and black pepper.

 I topped it off with a salad made from iceberg lettuce, spinach, cucumber, grated carrot, sweetcorn and red pepper with a balsamic, honey and mustard dressing.
