Shaved Fennel Courgette Orange Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Using a serrated knife, cut the peel from the orange, removing as much pith as possible. Slice the orange and cut each slice in half, reserving any juice left on the chopping board for the dressing.
• Remove any tough outer leaves from the fennel. Halve, cut out the cores, then slice as thinly as possible (using a mandolin if you have one). Trim the ends of the courgettes and, using a vegetable peeler, shave off long, thin slices, discarding the seedy, watery centres.
• Mix together the reserved orange juice, the sherry vinegar and olive oil. Season well and add lemon juice to taste. Just before serving, mix the fennel, courgette, lettuce leaves and orange slices with the dressing.

Steps:

• Cut peel and pith from oranges. Cut between membranes to release segments.
• Toss orange segments, fennel, onion, mint, and oil in large bowl to coat. Season salad generously to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer salad to platter. Garnish with olives and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the fronds from the fennel bulbs and reserve some of the feathery leaves for later. Cut each fennel bulb in half and remove the cores with a sharp knife.
• Fit a food processor with the thinnest slicing blade. Cut the fennel bulbs into wedges and place horizontally into the feed tube. Process in batches. Peel each orange, remove the pith with a knife, and slice. Set aside.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the oil, juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper in a small bowl. Place the fennel slices, oranges slices and arugula in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss together. Sprinkle with salt and add some fennel fronds for decoration.

Steps:

• Boil pomegranate juice in a small heavy saucepan until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer to a small bowl or measuring cup and quick-chill in an ice bath.
• Meanwhile, cut fennel into paper-thin slices with slicer. Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges. Cut segments free from membranes and coarsely chop.
• Whisk 1/2 teaspoon salt into pomegranate juice, then whisk in oil.
• Arrange fennel and oranges on salad plates or put in a large salad bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with dressing. Season with pepper.
