CITRUS AND FENNEL SALAD WITH KIWI

All the freshness of winter produce and citrus in one fantastic salad.  Bright, light and sunny, for the dark and gloomy winter days.  Add some feta and a drizzle of honey and pistachios, and you may even have dessert!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Cara Cara oranges
  • 2 Blood Oranges
  • 1/2 fennel bulb
  • 2 kiwi
  • Extra Virgin olive oil
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • finishing salt

Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut off either end of each piece of citrus. Then carefully cut off the peel cutting from pole to pole. Remove any remaining white pith. Slice into 1/8-1/4 inch slices. Repeat the same with each orange, and the kiwi as well.
  2. Trim off the ends of the fennel bulb, reserving some of the fronds for the dressing/garnish.
  3. Slice off the bottom. Then cut the bulb in half, from top to bottom.
  4. Carefully slice thin pieces from the fennel, trying to keep the bottom intact, to hold the separate layers of the fennel attached at the one end.

  5. Arrange the oranges, kiwi and fennel slices on a serving plate or platter, including any juices that have settled.

  6. Drizzle with a lovely amount of the best olive oil you can find.
  7. Sprinkle the entire dish with freshly cracked pepper and finishing salt.
  8. That's it!!

Recipe Notes

If you would like to make this a touch more substantial, try adding dollops of ricotta or feta throughout the dish.  Drizzle with honey and chopped pistachios for a wondrous treat.
