This orange and fennel salad is a fresh, colourful starter perfect for hot summer months. The mix of soft and crunchy textures and sweet and sour flavours of this dish are really what make it so attractive. Add a few black olives for an additional briny taste and a few drops of white balsamic vinegar to liven up the fennel’s licorice flavour. As with every simple recipe, success lies in the details. Carefully slice your ingredients, making sure to balance them out in the plate for a nice presentation. This salad also makes an interesting main course when combined with ricotta salata or a beautiful side dish with some seared tuna.
