Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried pitted prunes
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
2 oranges
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 medium fennel bulbs with fronds; 1 tablespoon fronds chopped, bulbs trimmed and thinly sliced
6 cups mixed baby greens
2 thin red onion rings

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until prunes are soft and juice is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 6 minutes. Transfer prunes to bowl; reserve juice. Chill prunes until cold, about 2 hours. Cut into quarters.
  • Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over bowl to catch juice and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments. Combine 2 tablespoons orange juice from bowl, oil, vinegar, grated orange peel, and reserved prune juice; whisk to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper.

  • Choose the right fennel bulb: Look for a bulb that is firm and heavy for its size, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: This will help it to absorb the flavors of the dressing and make it more tender.
  • Use a variety of oranges: This will add a complex flavor to the salad. Blood oranges, navel oranges, and Cara Cara oranges are all good choices.
  • Make the dressing in advance: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Fennel and orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. The combination of fennel, orange, and red onion is a classic, and the dressing adds a nice tang. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
