Summer Salad with Spicy Pecan Dressing

I picked up some blue cheese along with freshly picked apples at the local farmer’s market one weekend. When I got home, the two ingredients turned into this fresh summer salad with a toasted fennel and spicy pecan dressing. The mixture of sweet, pungent, and spicy is just too good to not enjoy this summer. Enjoy!
