Orange, Fennel and Avocado Salad

This salad combines slices of Cara Cara and navel oranges, thinly sliced fennel and red onion, with creamy avocado slices. Tossed in a white wine vinaigrette with lemon, honey, and Dijon mustard, the salad balances citrus brightness with subtle sweetness and mild onion bite. The fennel adds crisp texture and a delicate anise note, finished with fennel leaves as garnish.

Ingredients

  • 4 orange Cara Cara variety
  • 4 orange navel
  • 2 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 fennel bulb thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • fennel leaves for garnish
White Wine Vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple
  • 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
  • black pepper to taste
  • salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the skin and white pith off all the oranges, then slice into thin, even slices. Alternatively, you can slice first and remove skin second.
  2. Place all the orange slices in a large mixing bowl. Add the thin slices of fennel and red onion and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Gently toss to combine. Add the avocado last, to prevent getting squished during the mixing or add to each plate individually upon serving along with the fennel leaves for garnish.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to carefully remove orange skins and white pith to avoid bitterness and achieve clean slices.
  • Add avocado last to the salad or plate individually to prevent it from getting mashed during mixing.
  • The vinaigrette balances citrus and subtle honey sweetness; adjust honey and lemon to taste.
  • This recipe is adapted from Foodie Crush's Citrus, Fennel and Avocado Salad.
