Fennel, Beet and Orange Salad With Cumin Vinaigrette image

One of the things I love best about this refreshing salad is that it doesn't wilt, making it a a great choice for a potluck or a buffet. There's a nice contrast of textures going on, with the crunchy fennel, soft beets and juicy oranges. The dish has Moroccan overtones, with the combination of oranges and beets, and the cumin in the dressing.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's a lot of work to make.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to the vinaigrette.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the vinaigrette.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I loved this salad. The orange and cumin vinaigrette really balanced out the flavor of the fennel.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and it will still be delicious.

This salad is a delightful explosion of flavors. The fennel and beet provide a nice crunch, while the orange adds a touch of sweetness. The cumin vinaigrette ties it all together perfectly.
