Ingredients

• 3 oranges
• 1 fennel bulb
• 0.5 red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the oranges, making sure to remove all the white pith. Slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then cut each round into halves or quarters. Set aside.

Step 2

Trim the fennel bulb by cutting off the stalks and fronds. Slice the bulb in half lengthwise, remove the tough core, and use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice it very thinly. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel the red onion and slice it extremely thin using a mandoline or sharp knife. To reduce the sharpness, soak the slices in cold water for 5-10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

Step 4

Chop the fresh mint leaves into small pieces or keep them whole for garnish, depending on your preference.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified to create the dressing.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange slices, fennel, red onion, and most of the chopped mint (reserve a little for garnish). Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.

Step 7

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl. Garnish with the remaining mint leaves and serve immediately.
