Ingredients
- 2 whole Fresh fennel bulbs
- 1 whole Fresh orange
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups Arugula
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the fennel bulbs. Trim off the stalks (reserve some of the fronds for garnish) and remove any tough outer layers. Cut the bulbs in half lengthwise and use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to slice them very thinly. Place the sliced fennel into a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the orange segments away from the membrane and add them to the bowl with the fennel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Step 4
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the fennel and orange slices, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 5
Add the arugula to the bowl and toss gently again to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of fresh dill, and reserved fennel fronds for garnish.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Very Fennel Salad!
