Ingredients
- 4-6 4-6 oranges segmented, (I use blood oranges, navel, and minnola tangelos)
- 1 1 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- ¼ ¼ cup fennel fronds
- ¼ - ⅓ ¼ - ⅓ cup orange juice from segmenting
- 1 1 teaspoon honey or agave for vegan
- 2 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 3-4 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 5 5 ounces arugula
Instructions
- Segment Oranges: cut the ends off of the orange and lay flat on the cutting board. Use a knife to cut off the peel, including the white pith. Holding the peeled orange in your hand, over a bowl, carefully use a sharp paring knife to segment the orange pieces away from the membrane. Place the segments in a separate bowl, and once all have been removed, squeeze the remaining juice from the membrane in the bowl that was catching the juice (this will be for the dressing). Discard the membrane, and continue the process with all the citrus.
- Fennel: thinly slice the fennel bulb, reserving the stems for another use, and cutting off the fronds (the whispy parts) for the salad. See post for more details.
- In the bowl with the citrus juice, whisk in honey, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a serving bowl or large mixing bowl, add orange segments, fennel slices and fronds, and arugula. Toss with as much dressing as desired, then serve immediately, and enjoy!
