Orange and Fennel Salad Recipe

fennel salad
This orange and fennel salad recipe features the unusual licorice taste of Florence fennel accented with the bright and bold flavors of juicy oranges and red onions. It would make an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat or fish, or enjoy it as the French might, by itself as a starter course.

Florence fennel is one of those vegetables that originated in Europe and, although quite popular this side of the Atlantic, have not entirely caught on in North America and other parts of the world. It is however readily available in many grocery stores these days.

If you are unfamilar with how to prepare fennel, please have a look at this page on fennel recipes where you will find tips on selecting and storing this vegetable as well.

With its lovely colors, this is the sort of salad you want to show off. The Artland Simplicity Salad Bowl is perfect for showcasing your beautiful kitchen endeavours and will add much enjoyment to your meal times.

This fennel salad recipe can be prepared in advance and then left to marinate for an hour or so, giving the flavors time to migrate and develop.

  • 2 fennel bulbs
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Peel and cut two of the oranges in small pieces and put in a salad bowl with the fennel.

Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
