Citrus and Fennel Salad

This salad is very light and simple to make. It includes a combination of orange and grapefruit sections and slices of fennel with an orange vinaigrette. Serves 4.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of fresh fennel, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon of orange rind, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of fennel seeds, crushed
• 1/4 cup of orange juice
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 orange, peeled, seeded and cut crosswise into 8 slices
• 2 grapefruit, peeled, seeded and cut crosswise into 4 slices
• 1 small purple onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup of radish, thinly sliced

Cooking Instructions

Remove the tough outer leaves of the fennel.

Cut the fennel bulb in half crosswise and then lengthwise into thin slices.

Combine the sliced fennel, orange rind, fennel seeds, orange juice, olive oil, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste in a salad bowl, tossing all the ingredients so it’s mixed well.

Serve the fennel slices into the center of a round serving plate. Arrange the orange slices and grapefruit slices around the fennel slices and top with onion slices.

Place radicchio leaves on the outside of the plate, placing the leaves under the orange and grapefruit slices.

Drizzle the citrus and fennel salad with the remaining orange juice and a little bit of olive oil.
