I love fennel combined with citrus, so refreshing :) Beautiful salad Angie, hope your week is going well!
I'm crazy about fennel, but have never cared for it raw. I love it roasted and in stews etc.
But the idea of serving it with citrus is calling me. Think I should give it another try!

Fennel! I've never cooked with fennel. But I had it in soup once and loved it! This salad sounds so refreshing! The citrusyness (that's not a word is it?) must give it such a punch!
Oooooh that looks gorgeous! I love the idea of using orange and fennel together in a salad.

How fresh and pretty! I bet this would go great with some grilled chicken.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I have to admit that I never use fennel as raw. It is worth a try! Looks refreshing.
fenouil et oranges!!!

Hi Angie-This salad is gorgeous! I love fennel with just a little salt and olive oil. Now I will make it the way you did. Refreshing.:)
Angie, I'm about to go to the store and I just put fennel on my list. I want to make this. Yum!!!
Love, love raw fennel. beautiful fresh salad. There is a lack of appreciation for this mild anise flavored bulb in the U.S.. I think its fabulous.

first class salad Angie as ever love it :-) have a great weekend
A very light & elegant salad, nice!
I haven't ever had fennel raw - I should give it a go - the salad looks healthy and juicy, full of crunch yet sweetness
Love fennel. I thinking maybe larger pieces fennel/oranges would be good snack. What a great simple salad. I will be making it this week. Thank you.
I love the combination of citrus and fennel! This salad looks amazing!
Lovely flavours and textures! It's always nice to have some citrus fruits in salads.
I never knew what to do with fennel but to give it to my rabbits ;), thanks for sharing this recipe, Angie...
This is one of my favourite combinations, great flavours!
what a gorgeous salad, oranges and fennel together are such an imaginative combination.....I don't think I would have thought of it, but now I can't wait to try it!
This looks like a very interesting twist on how to present fennel. Will definitely give it a try. Lovely Blog!
Angie, I love serving fennel salad with an orange vinaigrette. It's the perfect side served with duck breast.
This looks wonderfully fresh, light and tasty. And, one of the few things that has been able to appeal to me since being pregnant. Yummy! I've never had fennel. Not fresh, anyway. Just the seeds. But I'd really love a dish of this salad! =)
I love fennel - seed, powdered, bulb, and this is so beautiful!
I do this one a lot too. Love the combo of the orange and the fennel.
This is favorite way of eating fennel shaved thin with citrus juices, oils, citrus wedges....
I call it my vegan ceviche.
I agree pinots are pricey. We haven't had much of French Burgundys. We will eventually :)
Thanks for stopping by weirdcombinations!
Cheers,
