Fennel and citrus deliver vitamin C and fiber in a refreshing, hydrating salad, with pistachios for crunch and healthy fat.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Shave the fennel as thinly as possible with a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. Segment the oranges over a bowl to catch the juice.
  3. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and any collected orange juice with a pinch of salt.
  4. Toss the fennel, orange segments, and arugula with the dressing.
  5. Top with chopped pistachios and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Reserve the feathery fennel fronds and scatter them on top for extra flavor.
  • A mandoline makes the paper-thin fennel that makes this salad special — mind your fingers.
