Categories     Salad     Citrus     Fruit     Leafy Green     Onion     Low Fat     Orange     Prune     Fennel     Winter     Healthy     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried pitted prunes
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 oranges
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 medium fennel bulbs with fronds; 1 tablespoon fronds chopped, bulbs trimmed and thinly sliced
6 cups mixed baby greens
2 thin red onion rings

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until prunes are soft and juice is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 6 minutes. Transfer prunes to bowl; reserve juice. Chill prunes until cold, about 2 hours. Cut into quarters.
  • Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over bowl to catch juice and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments. Combine 2 tablespoons orange juice from bowl, oil, vinegar, grated orange peel, and reserved prune juice; whisk to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Gently toss orange segments, minced red onion, 1 tablespoon fennel fronds, and 1 tablespoon dressing in medium bowl. Combine mixed greens, onion rings, and fennel bulbs in large bowl. Toss with remaining dressing. Divide salad among 4 plates. Top with prunes and orange mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fennel: Look for fennel bulbs that are firm and white, with no brown spots or blemishes. The fronds should be bright green and perky.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: This will help it absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of fennel.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh the salad down and make it soggy.
  • Let the salad chill: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors meld together.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Fennel salad is best enjoyed fresh. The longer it sits, the more the fennel will wilt and lose its crunch.

Conclusion:

Fennel and orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of sweet, sour, and bitter flavors, fennel and orange salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
