Pecorino and Fennel Salad
Serves 4

4 1/4" slices of pecorino cheese (Manciano, Stagionato, Fiore Dolce, etc.)
2 tsp. Fennel powder (or Fennel Pollen!)
Fennel flowers or fennel greens (from the bulbs)
4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (use a grassy one, like Olio Verde or Ponticelli)
Pepper

When it's too hot to cook inside, don't. Barbecue and prepare a simple salad. When you just can't eat another green salad, try this one for a change...

Arrange the cheese on a plate or platter. Sprinkle fennel powder over cheese. Arrange flowers or greens around plate. Drizzle olive oil over cheese. Pepper the whole thing lightly.

Serving Suggestions and Tips: Serve at room temperature.
