Delicious fresh fennel is combined with zingy citrus flavours in this refreshingly fruity side salad. Add crunchy pecans and a tasty mustard dressing to this fennel and orange salad for maximum taste.

fennel and orange salad

I love fennel. With its subtle liquorice flavour there’s something so refreshing about it.

It can be tricky to know what to make with it though. I often roast it - like in this linguine with cauliflower and fennel recipe.

But I think it’s even nicer in a salad. And combined with the bright orange segments it looks really pretty on the table too.

How difficult is fennel and orange salad to make?

Not difficult at all!

It’s a really easy salad to make yet looks really pretty and impressive on the dinner table.

What should you serve with this salad?

Fennel and orange salad is really refreshing and is particularly delicious eaten outside with a BBQ - perhaps with some veggie sausages and potatoes cooked in the coals.

It also goes well with a selection of other salads (see below for more ideas).

I also like it with flatbreads and dips such as:

  • fava bean hummus
  • cauliflower hummus
  • roast beetroot dip
  • garlic tahini sauce

What ingredients do you need to make this salad?

To make this salad you’ll need:

  • a fennel
  • two oranges
  • a handful of pecan nuts, and
  • a small handful flat leaf parsley

To make the dressing you will need:

  • wholegrain mustard
  • orange juice
  • olive oil
  • sea salt

Do you need any special equipment to make it?

No - just a sharp knife and a chopping board will do. However, if you do have a mandoline this will help you to slice the fennel very finely.
