Blood Orange and Fennel Salad with Bacon Bits and Macadamia

Labels: { , , , }

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2018 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Refreshingly crunchy Romaine lettuce leaves, sweet tangy blood oranges, and fennel bulb with its unique mildly licorice-like flavour are topped with honey roasted macadamia nuts and crispy bacon bits, then dressed with black cumin oil and lemon juice.

  • 4 Blood oranges
  • 1 Fennel bulb, fronds reserved, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 50 g Bacon, finely diced
  • 2 Baby romaine salad, separated
  • 150 g Honey roasted macadamia nuts
  • 1 tbsp Black cumin oil
  • 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  1. Peel and cut blood oranges into rounds or wedges. Set aside.
  2. Strip the fronds from the stalks and finely slice the fennel bulb lengthways. Reserve the fronds for the garnish.
  3. In a heavy large non-stick skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and cool slightly.
  4. Separate the romaine salad leaves and arrange them in a serving platter. Scatter the fennel slices and top with blood orange, bacon bits and macadamia nuts.
  5. Drizzle over the black cumin oil and lemon juice, then season. Garnish with the reserved fronds and serve.

Honey roasted nuts and those gorgeous supremes! Absolutely beautiful and no doubt delicious - doesn't bacon make everything great?!

Angie, that is gorgeous! And I think I haven't had any fennel since last winter. I'm overdue and this is just the way to have it!

What a great combination. I absolutely love blood oranges, but I can rarely manage to buy some that are actually red. Usually they are orange tinged with red... Black cumin oil sounds interesting, I have never had it, where did you get it?

Who doesn't love citrus season and all the possibilities. This is a new one for me and love it. Wasn't expecting the bacon, but that always seals the deal doesn't it? :) Honey roasted macadamia nuts? I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for those. Superb salad!
