Fennel and orange harmonize so well together, which this salad proves! It’s a wonderful winter salad variation with that little extra. Fresh, healthy, light!

I think that adding finely sliced oranges does bring a whole new taste to every salad. Plus, it makes your salad looking more beautiful in an instant.

Best way to slice an orange? Peel, cut lengthwise in half, lay it cut-side down, and slice in very thin slices.

Watch out for fennel with fronds. You can chop them roughly and add them as a decoration to your salad. Fennel fronds are aromatic and add a wonderful flavor. By the way, I highly recommend grating the fennel super thin using a mandolin slicer.

Even the dressing for this fennel orange salad recipe is straightforward. All you need is olive oil, orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed), maple syrup, salt, and pepper! A rather mild dressing that goes wonderfully with shaved fennel.

Do you prefer your dressing a little more tangy? Add one tablespoon of vinegar and one teaspoon of mustard. Feel free to add minced garlic, shallots, or grated ginger.
