Transfer the seeds to a spice grinder and let cool completely; grind to a powder. In a large bowl, whisk the ground fennel with the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the mâche and toss gently. Scatter the goat cheese on top and serve. Suggested Pairing Jim Clendenen's clean and simple mâche salad is perfectly matched by the firm acidity and subtle oak in a full-bodied Chardonnay. Rate it Print
