FENNEL & ORANGE SALAD WITH RED ONION & OLIVES



Fennel & Orange Salad with Red Onion & Olives image

This popular Sicilian salad is made with blood oranges when they are in season, but navel oranges work just as well. I like to bring the salad to the table with the layers intact and toss it at the table.

Provided by Janet Fletcher

Categories     First course

Yield six.

Number Of Ingredients 9

One-half small red onion
2 large navel oranges or blood oranges
2 to 3 small fennel bulbs, trimmed (about 1 lb. total after trimming)
1/2 cup kalamata olives
3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1-1/2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. chopped fresh mint
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the onion half lengthwise as thinly as you can. Put the sliced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water to mellow its flavor and keep it crisp. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Working with one orange at a time, slice off both ends. Set the orange on a cutting board, one cut side down. With a sharp knife, cut away the peel (the zest and white pith) by slicing from top to bottom, following the contour of the orange. Working over a bowl to collect any juice, release the orange segments by carefully cutting them away from the membrane that separates them. Remove any seeds and put the orange segments in another bowl, separate from the juice. Squeeze the membranes over the juice bowl.
  • Cut the fennel in quarters lengthwise and then trim away most of the core, leaving just enough intact to keep the layers together. Slice the quarters lengthwise as thinly as you can.
  • With a paring knife, slice the olive flesh off the pits lengthwise. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. (The recipe can be prepared up to this point several hours in advance. If working ahead, wrap and refrigerate the fennel; don't chop the mint until just before serving.)
  • Drain the sliced onion and toss it with the fennel. Put the fennel and onion in a shallow salad bowl or on a rimmed serving platter. Drizzle with the reserved orange juice. Arrange the orange segments on top and sprinkle with the olives and mint.
  • Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Add several grinds of black pepper and serve immediately.

Spanish Charred Fennel, Orange and Olive Salad image

This is one of my favourite Summer salad recipes.....the vibrant colours are amazing, as are all the mingling flavours! The baby fennel bulbs are roasted until charred and then simply served with fresh oranges, black olives, red onion, fresh mint and a divine orange vinaigrette! I serve this alongside grilled, roast or barbequed Duck or Lamb - it is also great when served with a good grilled Steak.

Fennel, Spinach, Orange Salad With a Red Currant Vinaigrette image

Just a nice twist for a every night salad or dinner party. This is the most simple elegant salad, but just think ... canned mandarin oranges, a bag of baby spinach and a jar of current jelly, a few other ingredients and you that is it. I love to garnish this with a little feta, but that is up to you. To me it just makes the salad.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

7 ounces Baby Spinach (Dole or any name brand, just 1 bag)
1 large fennel bulb, cut in half and thin sliced
1 medium onion, cut in half and then thin sliced
7 ounces mandarin oranges, drained (one small can)
5 ounces feta cheese (I just use one of the tubs with already crumbled to make it easy, use as much as you want for a garn)
1/4 cup red currant jelly
1/4 olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Mix in a measuring cup the jelly, olive oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and heat in the micro until the jelly thins out a bit.
  • Salad -- Just mix the greens with the fennel, onion and oranges and toss well.
  • Dressing #2 -- One more time, lightly heat the dressing on medium until warm but not boiling and toss over the salad. You want the dressing warm. Then top with the feta cheese and fresh ground black pepper and serve.
  • This is a great salad with a roast chicken or roasted pork tenderloin. It is very simple but really unique and different but everyone always seems to love it.
