Begin by preparing the fennel bulbs. Trim the tops and bottom, removing any tough outer layers. Cut the fennel bulbs in half lengthwise and then slice thinly into half-moons. Place into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the orange and segment it, removing any seeds or pith. Cut the segments into smaller bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the fennel.
Dice the red bell pepper and English cucumber into small, uniform pieces. Add them to the bowl along with the fennel and orange.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it into the mix for a burst of herbal freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the vinaigrette.
Pour the vinaigrette over the fennel and vegetable mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Let the medley sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Fresh Fennel Medley as a bright and crunchy side dish or a light, refreshing salad. Enjoy!
