Categories     appetizer

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds fennel bulbs
3 to 4 oranges
1/4 cup good olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces arugula

Steps:

  • Cut the fronds from the fennel bulbs and reserve some of the feathery leaves for later. Cut each fennel bulb in half and remove the cores with a sharp knife.
  • Fit a food processor with the thinnest slicing blade. Cut the fennel bulbs into wedges and place horizontally into the feed tube. Process in batches. Peel each orange, remove the pith with a knife, and slice. Set aside.
  • For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl. Place the fennel slices, oranges slices and arugula in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together. Sprinkle with salt and add some fennel fronds for decoration.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fennel: Look for firm, crisp fennel bulbs with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will help you get clean, even slices of fennel.
  • Don't overcook the fennel: Fennel should be slightly crunchy, so cook it just until it is tender.
  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give your salad a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Segment the oranges: This is the best way to remove the pith from the oranges and get clean, juicy segments.
  • Use a light dressing: A light vinaigrette or citrus dressing will help to brighten the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Fennel and orange salad is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to eat it.
