Fennel Orange Salad

 

Ingredients

1/2 recipe Citrus Vinaigrette

1 fennel bulb

1 large shallot

2 small oranges

2 tablespoons chopped pistachios

5 ounces rocket salad

Citrus Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons orange juice, plus zest of ½ orange

1 tablespoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon maple syrup

¼ teaspoon salt

Fresh ground black pepper

½ cup olive oil

Method

1. Make the Citrus Vinaigrette – In a medium bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and a grind of fresh black pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time, until creamy and emulsified.
2. Thinly slice the fennel and the shallot. If desired, save a few fennel fronds (the feathery green parts on top of the stalk) for a garnish. Cut oranges into sections. 
3. To serve, place the rocket salad on a plate. Top with oranges, fennel, shallot, and chopped pistachios. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
