Fennel Orange Salad
This is a bright and refreshing Sicilian Fennel Orange Salad with a wonderful orange citrus vinaigrette.
I like to use both Cara Navel Oranges and Blood Oranges, but you could use whatever oranges you have access to.
Equipment: The easiest way to get the very thinly sliced fennel bulb is to use a mandoline food and vegetable slicer. When slicing the fennel, I keep the core in and then pull the core out. Occasionally, I miss a few.
Composed salads are so easy to make. Place the baby salad greens on the plate. I used a Baby Spring Mix.
Top with the orange and blood orange slices. Add the thinly sliced fennel and add the fennel fronds on top. Serve with an Orange Citrus Vinaigrette.
To make the Orange Citrus Vinaigrette, in a large bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, blood orange juice, orange zest, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper.
Whisk while slowly adding the olive oil until emulsified. Place the completed salad dressing in a ramekin to serve with the salad.
