Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 fennel bulb, fronds reserved
Olive oil, for frying
Fleur de sel (sea salt) and freshly ground black pepper
1 organic orange
1/2 small red onion
Handful small black olives
Handful toasted pine nuts
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Trim the fennel, reserving a handful of green fronds. Cut into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Heat a little olive oil in a saute pan, and, working in batches and seasoning with salt and pepper as you go, fry the fennel on both sides until golden and tender. As the fennel is done, arrange it on a serving platter.
  • Zest the orange and set the zest aside. Remove the skin with a sharp knife, taking care to remove all the white pith from the fruit. Discard the peel. Cut out the orange sections, arranging over the fennel, and squeeze the orange juice over the whole salad.
  • Slice the onion into paper thin rings and arrange over the salad. Scatter over the olives and pine nuts. Squeeze over lemon juice, to taste. Drizzle over a little more olive oil. Finally, scatter over the reserved fennel fronds. Serve.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed this salad. The orange and walnuts really helped to balance out the flavor of the fennel.

I didn't have any walnuts, so I used pecans instead. They worked just as well.

The fennel was a bit tough. I think I'll roast it for a little longer next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less orange juice next time.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can roast the fennel and make the dressing ahead of time, and then just assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fennel. I had some roasted fennel leftover from a previous recipe, and this salad was the perfect way to use it up.
