Fennel Salad With Blood Oranges Recipes

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to remove orange peel.
• Cut oranges into segments, removing all the white pith.
• Slice end from fennel and remove shoots from top (reserve shoots).
• If exterior of fennel bulb is marred or discoloured, peel with a vegetable peeler.
• Cut in half and thinly slice.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, basil, garlic, salt and pepper; then whisk in oil.
• Arrange fennel slices and orange segments on individual serving dishes.
• Drizzle dressing over salads and garnish with reserved fennel fronds.

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.

Steps:

• Cut the fronds from the fennel bulbs and reserve some of the feathery leaves for later. Cut each fennel bulb in half and remove the cores with a sharp knife.
• Fit a food processor with the thinnest slicing blade. Cut the fennel bulbs into wedges and place horizontally into the feed tube. Process in batches. Peel each orange, remove the pith with a knife, and slice. Set aside.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl. Place the fennel slices, oranges slices and arugula in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together. Sprinkle with salt and add some fennel fronds for decoration.

Steps:

• Cut peel and pith from oranges. Cut between membranes to release segments.
• Toss orange segments, fennel, onion, mint, and oil in large bowl to coat. Season salad generously to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer salad to platter. Garnish with olives and serve immediately.
