Ingredients
- 2 medium Cara Cara oranges segmented or sliced into 1/2" discs
- 2 medium blood oranges segmented or sliced into 1/2" discs
- 1 large navel orange segmented or sliced into 1/2" discs
- 1/4 cup (35g) Pignoli, aka pine nuts toasted
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 small onion halved, and thinly sliced
- 1 large Fennel bulb and fronds thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (60g) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Slice the fennel bulb lengthwise, then slice thinly, crosswise. Chop the fennel fronds and set aside. Slice the onion in half, and slice each half thinly.
- Toss the onion and fennel together and place on a serving dish. Layer the orange slices on top of the fennel and onion slices.
- Drizzle the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil on top of the fennel, onion and orange mixture.
- To a dry, small pan, add the pignoli nuts and toast over low heat (about 3-5 minutes) paying close attention to not let them burn. Remove from the pan once fragrant and light golden brown.
- Once the pignoli nuts are cool, sprinkle on top of the orange fennel salad.
- Top the salad with the chopped fennel fronds and flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
Notes
- While this salad travels well, I would suggest waiting until you are about to serve before topping with the flaky sea salt. The salt has a tendency to dissolve into the oranges and waiting until ready to serve will ensure that the flaky sea salt texture is intact.
- You can substitute any type of oranges for this salad, or use just one type. For a less sweet version, try adding in some grapefruit slices.
- Some variations include oil-cured olives, fresh mint, or fresh basil. Feel free to experiment!
