Orange Fennel Salad
If you’ve never tried fennel before, this orange fennel salad is a great introduction to that anise like flavor. There’s so much flavor and crunch in this salad, you’re going to love it! But, if you have difficulty finding fennel or simply want to skip it, consider the orange and celery salad instead.

Use Oranges in Salads
I like using different variety of oranges depending what’s available. The combination of tangelo, cara cara and blood oranges adds great color and it also offers different levels of tanginess. However, I’ve also made this with just navel oranges when that’s all that’s in the house. You still get that crunch, color and juiciness.
