Steps:
- Prepare salad: Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, shave fennel crosswise very finely. Place in a large bowl with orange juice and rosemary. Season generously with salt. Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes; toss occasionally.
- Drain and discard liquid from salad. Season to taste with cracked pepper. Add onion and olive oil, and toss to mix. Cover, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare basil emulsion: In a blender or small food processor, combine basil, olive oil and salt to taste. Blend until smooth.
- To serve: Place equal portions of fennel mixture on four serving plates. Surround each portion with three avocado slices in a triangular arrangement. Spoon some basil emulsion around each plate. Place Minneola sections on each plate in a triangular arrangement, and serve.
