ZESTY FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD

This fennel and orange salad is a beautifully fresh and vibrant dish, perfect for adding a touch of Mediterranean sunshine to your meals. The crisp, slightly sweet aniseed flavour of fennel pairs wonderfully with the juicy, tangy citrus of orange, creating a light yet satisfying balance of flavours. Drizzled with a simple olive oil and lemon dressing and finished with fragrant parsley, this salad is as visually appealing as it is delicious. Serve it as a side dish, appetiser or a refreshing light meal on warm days. It’s quick to prepare, nutrient-dense and bursting with bright, zesty goodness.

TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this zesty fennel and orange salad.

  • Use Fresh Fennel: Look for firm bulbs with bright green fronds for the best flavour.
  • Chill For Extra Crispness: Refrigerate sliced fennel for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Enhance Sweetness: Drizzle with a teaspoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter balance.
  • Thinly Slice For Texture: Using a mandoline ensures ultra-thin, delicate fennel slices.
  • Pair With Protein: Add grilled prawns or chickpeas for a more substantial meal.
  • Garnish Creatively: Sprinkle with toasted almonds or crushed pistachios for crunch.

VARIATIONS

  • Cheese Addition: Crumble feta or goat cheese over the salad for extra creaminess.
  • Nutty Crunch: Add toasted walnuts, almonds or pine nuts.
  • Extra Greens: Toss with arugula or spinach for a fuller salad.
  • Spice It Up: A dash of chilli flakes or sumac adds a bold twist.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
  • Keep Dressing Separate: For meal prep, store the dressing separately and mix before serving.
  • Avoid Freezing: The texture of fennel and oranges doesn’t hold up well to freezing.
  • Best Served Fresh: The flavours and textures are best within a few hours of preparation.
  • Rehydrate Leftovers: Refresh the salad with a splash of extra lemon juice if stored overnight.
