This fresh, crunchy, aromatic salad combines delicate aniseed-flavoured fennel, peppery rocket leaves, sweet tangy citrus, distinctively tart, chewy dried cherry tomatoes and a simple salad dressing for a full-flavoured side dish or light lunch. Oranges can be swapped with mandarine or clementine, if desired. You can even throw in some toasted chickpeas, nuts, or seeds for extra crunch and nutrients.

- Remove the fronds from the fennel bulb and set aside. Cut away any tough stalks, then thinly slice the bulb using a sharp knife or ideally a mandolin.
- Peel and very thinly slice the oranges, then arrange on a platter.
- Place the shaved fennel in a mixing bowl. Mix with the mint, arugula, dried cherry tomatoes, a splash of apple cider vinegar and oil, and season well with sea salt and black pepper.
- Scatter the fennel mixture over the oranges and enjoy!

Looks good
Not something I would eat, but very colourful. I do eat an orange a day!
...the citrus should make it special.
Cuanto color y sabor hay en esa ensalada, más aún cuando hay producto de temporada. Te dejaría el plato limpio.
Un beso.

Harmony in this salad! I like pairing fennel with citrus in a salad as well.

I really love fennel. It is perfect for this salad.
As you may know, fennel and orange is a classic Sicilian salad and one of my favorites. The dried cherry tomatoes add an intriguing touch!
Me encantan las ensaladas. Las comemos a diario.
Buen fin de semana.

Lovely flavor combination Angie!
Voilà encore une salade très appétissante que tu nous proposes ! Belle fin de soirée
this looks so pretty and refreshing Angie. I've not heard of dried cherry tomatoes but it sounds interesting. I have 2 (peeled) oranges in my fridge atm, and when I open the fridge, the smell is gorgeous! cheers Sherry
This fennel and orange salad recipe looks absolutely delicious! The combination of the aniseed-flavoured fennel, peppery rocket leaves, sweet citrus and chewy dried cherry tomatoes sounds perfect for a light and refreshing lunch or side dish. I love the addition of fresh mint leaves to give it an extra burst of flavor. The idea of swapping oranges with mandarine or clementine is a great suggestion as well. I also appreciate the option to add some toasted chickpeas, nuts, or seeds for a boost of protein and texture. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I can't wait to try it out!
Fennel with orange had been a longtime favourite, it’s so pretty too. We have been travelling through Europe for a month so it’s been difficult to keep up the comments.
