I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this salad. The fennel was very mild and didn't overpower the other flavors.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this salad. The oranges and fennel are sweet, while the red onions and mint are savory. It's a perfect balance of flavors.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I had a few oranges that were about to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It was a great way to use them up, and the salad was delicious!
