Fennel & Blood Orange Salad

from Fennel Blood Orange Salad with Quinoa, the Week of February 12, 2012.
View the next recipe for this meal.

A Sicilian favorite tosses together these two ingredients for a simple, elegant salad. But, if you insist on lettuce, go for it. Just plop these sweet, floral, licorice-y flavors on top. You may even consider something bitter as the leafy green, such as arugula to balance the sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1 fennel bulb, about 1 pound
  • 3 blood oranges, or regular navel oranges
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch salt, or more as needed
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Preparation Instructions

Slice the fennel, paper thin. If you have a mandolin, you may want to whip it out for this purpose. If you have long strips of fennel cut them in more bite-size pieces, each about 2-3 inches long.

Juice one of the blood oranges. Toss the fennel in the juice.

Segment the blood oranges: slice off the skin, including the white pith until the crimson-orange flesh is exposed. Cut in half and then again into thin slices, in little fan shapes.

Toss the orange segments with the fennel, olive oil, salt and pepper.
