Orange and Fennel Salad with Olive and Onion
I made this delicious Orange and Fennel Salad recipe a few weeks ago but I wanted to share it here with you to bring a little freshness to your plate.
I therefore offer you a recipe idea for a sweet and savory salad that I often like to make as a starter for a good weekend meal but which I also eat in a lunch box as a main course. I appreciate the balance of flavors between the freshness of the fennel, the deliciousness of the oranges and the added character of the black olives.
I really like this recipe because it is very simple to prepare, it is full of good things that are almost sufficient in themselves so no need to add sauce. Obviously, if you wish, it is entirely possible to add a drizzle of olive oil or a few drops of vinegar, but personally, I find that this is not essential.
I made this recipe as part of my food diet rebalancing.

This is a great salad! So light and summery.
One note:
The directions say to finely mince the onion, but then in step 3, it states to finely slice. I will slice next time.
