Ingredients

• 1 large fennel bulb
• 2 medium navel oranges
• 0.5 small red onion
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons toasted almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the fennel bulb by cutting off the stalks and fronds, reserving a few of the fronds for garnish. Slice the fennel bulb in half lengthwise, remove the core, and then slice it very thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.

Step 2

Peel the oranges and use a sharp knife to cut away all the white pith. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin rounds or segments.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into small strips.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Arrange the fennel slices, orange pieces, and red onion on a large serving platter or individual plates.

Step 6

Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the salad.

Step 7

Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad, along with the reserved fennel fronds for garnish.

Step 8

If using toasted almonds, sprinkle them on top for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp, refreshing Fennel Orange Salad!
