Tuna Fennel Avocado And Tangerine Salad With Citrus Vinaigrette Recipes

FENNEL AND CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the fennel as thinly as possible, then soak in ice water to crisp up, about 5 minutes. Strain and dry well.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard and some salt and pepper, then whisk in the olive oil to create a vinaigrette.
• Add the dates, basil, cilantro, mint and chile to the vinaigrette. Then add the orange and grapefruit segments and the fennel; toss well. Divide the salad among 4 serving plates and garnish with the pistachios.

FENNEL SALAD WITH CITRUS

Steps:

• Cut the top and bottom off the grapefruit. Stand up the fruit and slice off the rind and white pith underneath, reserving the rind so you can add the juice to the salad. Cut the fruit into segments, reserving any juice that accumulates. Set aside.
• Add the orange juice and half of the mint leaves to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle in the oil.
• Quarter the fennel bulbs and trim the core. Using a mandoline or a chef's knife, thinly shave each quarter. Add the fennel and Hungarian peppers to the vinaigrette. Finely chop the reserved fennel fronds and add to the bowl. Fold in the grapefruit segments and their juices and the remaining mint leaves. Squeeze in the juice from the reserved grapefruit top and bottom and toss to combine. Serve.
