Instructions
- Clean the fennel, removing the stems and the toughest and most stringy outer leaves, then rinse well.
- Dry and slice it thinly. You can use a knife or a mandoline if you want to have very thin slices, depending on your taste. Arrange the fennel slices in a salad bowl or on a plate and set aside.
- Squeeze half an orange and set the juice aside.
- Peel the other two oranges as follows. Using a very sharp knife, remove completely the peel, the bitter white part, the membrane and all the filaments covering the orange. This way of peeling citrus fruits is called "al vivo" (see paragraph below "How to Peel and Cut an Orange "al vivo").
- Using a sharp knife, cut the oranges into wedges.
- Place the oranges and fennel in a large bowl. Season with salt and ground black pepper, extra virgin olive oil and the juice of half an orange.
- Add the black olives and season with a little anise or fennel seeds. Mix everything well to blend all the flavors. Italian fennel and orange salad is ready!
