Citrus, Fennel, and Celery Salad
This citrus, fennel, and celery salad takes fifteen minutes and needs no cooking: shaved fennel and celery, orange segments, a bright vinaigrette. Firrisa already tastes like citrus and celery before the bottle is even opened, so it does most of the dressing's work on its own.
Ingredients
- 1 fennel bulb, shaved thin
- 2 celery stalks, shaved thin on a diagonal
- 1 orange, segmented
- 2 tablespoons Firrisa
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fennel fronds, for garnish
Instructions
- Trim the fennel bulb and shave it as thin as possible, ideally with a mandoline, a sharp knife works too, just go slowly.
- Slice the celery thin on a sharp diagonal for the same delicate texture.
- Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut the peel and pith off the orange, then slice between the membranes to release whole segments.
- Combine the shaved fennel, celery, and orange segments in a large bowl.
- Whisk Firrisa, lemon juice, and the reserved orange juice together in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- Garnish with fennel fronds and serve within the hour for the best crunch.
