Here I show you my fennel salad recipe. This salad is healthy, quick to make and incredibly tasty.

My fennel salad has a spicy, subtle taste and thrives on contrasts: aniseed-spicy fennel versus sweet, juicy orange – full-fruity orange versus red pepper – nutty pine nuts versus roasted fennel.

So you’re in for some taste explosions: let yourself be surprised and carried away by the culinary delights.

Directly from my kitchen, I now show you how to prepare it with great pictures and a cooking video. Enjoy cooking and good luck!

Ingredients

Prepare vegetables

250 g fennel (I use organic vegetables)
1/4 tsp Salt (I use primal salt or Himalayan salt)
4-6 pinches black pepper grounded
1 tsp Sugar (I use brown cane sugar)

Oranges and dressing

2 pc Oranges
1 tbs balsamico (gold variant 10 years and older)

You can cut out the orange fillets from the peeled orange without white skin.

Fillet Oranges

Cut off the top and bottom 🙂 of the oranges and remove the skin with the white by making a diagonal cut.

Hold the peeled orange in your hand and cut out the orange fillets over a bowl.

Collect the orange juice in the bowl and keep the fillets ready.

I show you how to fillet oranges in detail in a cooking school article with a cooking video.
