Fennel Salad With Blood Oranges Recipes

FENNEL SALAD WITH BLOOD ORANGES

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar with 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add 1 thinly sliced fennel bulb and 1 tablespoon chopped fronds, 2 segmented blood oranges, 2 cups baby kale and 1/4 cup each thinly sliced red onion and chopped toasted hazelnuts; toss. Top with crumbled gorgonzola.

BLOOD ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Lightly pickle onion: Mix sugar and vinegar, then add onion and set aside for 15 minutes to lightly pickle (vinegar should just about cover onion). Drain, reserve pickling vinegar.
• Slice oranges, reserve juice: Cut rind from oranges, then slice into rounds. Reserve all juice on cutting board - you want around 2 teaspoons (if you're short, sacrifice a slice or two).
• Blood Orange Drizzle Dressing: Measure out 2 tsp pickling vinegar, shake/whisk with the reserved 2 tsp juice, 2 tbsp EVOO with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Lightly dress fennel: Toss fennel in 1 tbsp onion pickling juice, remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
• Assembling: Place 1/2 orange rounds on plate. Pile over 2/3 the fennel, litter with onion, parsley, place half remaining orange slices on top. Top with remaining fennel, oranges then onion. Sprinkle with parsley leaves. Just before serving, drizzle over the Blood Orange Dressing, mainly on the oranges so it doesn't stain the fennel too much. Serve immediately!

FENNEL SALAD WITH BLOOD ORANGES

Steps:

• Slice the top and bottom of both oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the orange over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Discard membrane.
• Place fennel slices and chopped parsley in a large bowl. Add olive oil and vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Serve topped with orange segments.
