Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon whole-grain or coarse-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 navel oranges
2 grapefruit (preferably pink)
2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise; about 1 3/4 lb), stalks cut off and discarded
3 celery ribs, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices
Special Equipment
a Japanese Benriner* or other adjustable-blade slicer

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking, until combined.
  • Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges and grapefruit with a paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes. Squeeze juice from membranes into a small bowl, then whisk 3 tablespoons juice into vinaigrette. Drain citrus segments, then add to vinaigrette.
