Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients:
For the citrus vinaigrette:
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. grated orange zest
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. canola oil
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1 shallot, chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 large fennel bulb
3 large navel oranges
1/3 cup sliced gaeta olives (Optional)
4 cups arugula

Steps:

  • To make the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, olive oil, canola oil, mustard, tarragon and shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cut off the stems and feathery fronds of the fennel bulb and remove any bruised or discolored outer layers. Cut the bulb in half lengthwise and cut out any tough core parts. Cut the bulb halves crosswise into slices 3/8 inch thick and then cut the slices into 1-inch lengths. Working with 1 orange at a time, and using a sharp knife, cut a slice off both ends of the orange to reveal the flesh. Stand the orange upright on a cutting board and thickly slice off the peel and pith in strips, following the contour of the fruit. Cut the orange in half crosswise, place each half cut side down, and thinly slice vertically to create half-moons. Repeat with the remaining oranges. Place the fennel and arugula in a large serving bowl, add half of the vinaigrette and toss gently to coat thoroughly. Arrange the orange slices in a pinwheel or other design on top. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.

I would recommend adding some nuts or seeds to this salad for extra crunch.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the arugula to be a bit too peppery for my liking. Next time, I'll try using a milder green, like baby spinach.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this salad. The fennel flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I had a few oranges that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It turned out great!

This salad was a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The arugula's peppery bite, the fennel's anise flavor, and the orange's citrusy sweetness all came together perfectly. The dressing was also well-balanced, with a nice tang from the vin
