Fennel orange salad with hazelnuts
Jump to Recipe Print Recipea simple 10-minute salad with crispy fennel and juicy oranges,
refined with an olive oil-lemon vinaigrette and hazelnuts
This super fast winter salad is ideal as a side dish to a warm and wintery dish or simply as a cold starter. The thin slices of fennel and orange form a special and fresh carpaccio made from lots of vegetables.
Oranges
In the winter season oranges are probably the juiciest fruit and therefore perfect for this winter side dish. To give the salad a little twist or to change it slightly, I recommend using other citrus fruits such as tangerines or blood oranges instead of oranges.
Dressing
The dressing consists of high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil, tangy lemon juice, some salt and agave syrup. Of course you can also use other sweeteners such as honey, but for this recipe I have chosen plantbase sweeteners to keep the dish vegan.
Finally, sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts and grated orange peel on the salad to make it crispy and aromatic.
