Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups baby arugula
2 navel oranges
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion (or more), sliced into thin rings
8 leaves fresh basil, cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until fully emulsified. If the dressing breaks while you're making it, stop pouring the oil and whisk what you've made so far until it comes together again.
  • Spread the arugula on a large platter. Slice off the top and bottom of each orange. Cut away the peel and outer membranes, then slice the orange cross-wise into wheels. Layer the orange slices over the arugula, followed by the fennel, onion (add more to taste) and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette on top, toss and serve immediately.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This salad is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning, maybe some salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon juice.

I found the fennel to be a bit overpowering. I think I would prefer this salad with less fennel or maybe even no fennel at all.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would prefer it with less orange juice in the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. It's also a very healthy and nutritious dish.

I'm not usually a fan of fennel, but this salad changed my mind. The fennel is very mild and pairs perfectly with the oranges and red onion. The dressing is also very good.

This is a great salad for a summer party or potluck. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.

Wow, this salad is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced and the dressing is to die for. I'm definitely going to be making this again and again.

This salad is bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. The combination of sweet oranges, aromatic fennel, and tangy red onion is simply irresistible. I love the crunch of the fennel and the sweetness of the oranges. The dressing is light and flavorful,
