Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 fennel bulb, trimmed
5 medium carrots
2 large beets, trimmed and peeled
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 shallot, halved and very thinly sliced
Coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Quarter fennel bulb lengthwise, and cut out core. Very thinly slice fennel lengthwise into strips using a mandoline or sharp knife. Cover with a damp paper towel in a glass dish.
  • Grate carrots, then beets, on the large holes of a box grater. Arrange side by side with fennel. Keep covered with damp paper towel, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Toast fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl, and add orange juice, vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in oil.
  • Toss fennel, beets, and carrots with vinaigrette in a large bowl. Serve immediately.

This was a great salad! I made it for a potluck and it was a big hit. The colors were so vibrant and the flavors were spot-on. I would definitely make this salad again.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the dressing had been more savory. Otherwise, it was a good salad and I liked the combination of flavors.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind! The combination of the sweet beets, crunchy fennel, and earthy carrots was amazing. The dressing was also really good - it was light and flavorful, without being too overpowering. I will

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors of the beets, fennel, and carrots were perfectly balanced, and the dressing was light and tangy. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend this
