Ina Garten Fennel Orange Salad Recipe

Ina Garten Fennel Orange Salad

Ina Garten’s Fennel Orange Salad is a delightful combination of thinly sliced fennel, juicy orange segments, and a touch of olive oil, salt, and pepper. The salad is finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, creating a dish that is light, flavorful, and beautifully aromatic.

Ingredients

  • Fennel bulbs: 2 medium, thinly sliced.
  • Oranges: 3 large, segmented.
  • Olive oil: 3 tablespoons, high-quality.
  • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed.
  • Fresh herbs: 2 tablespoons of dill or parsley, finely chopped.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.

Instructions

  • Prepare the fennel: Trim the fennel bulbs by cutting off the fronds and root ends. Thinly slice the bulbs using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  • Segment the oranges: Cut off the top and bottom of each orange, then remove the peel and pith with a knife. Carefully cut between the membranes to release the segments.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Assemble the salad: Arrange the sliced fennel and orange segments on a serving platter. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
