Orange Fennel Salad with Orange Honey Dressing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Orange Fennel Salad with Orange Honey Dressing is refreshing and tasty! Ripe orange, zesty fennel, peppery baby kale all wrapped up in a naturally sweet dressing. A perfect sunny salad for the perfect sunny day.

The simple citrus salad comes together in a flash and the baby kale can be substituted with baby greens or spinach. Your choice. But one of the best parts? A delicious, naturally sweet Orange Honey Dressing. It’s perfectly light and gives this salad just the enhancement it needs. A perfect companion for these peppery greens.

A favorite around here is baby Kale. The leaves are tender, and the flavor is mild. And as you would have guessed, they are the immature leaves of Kale. By now, I’m sure you guessed my love for this once “garnish only” green. There are several reasons for this aside from taste and versatility. It’s really healthy and is considered a super food and well, we think it’s super good. Good for eating and good for the body.

There are few types of Kale out there and one of the best articles explaining types and uses is from Bon Appetit, it’s a short read and super informative.

salad prep

So now for this delicious salad: Wash your baby kale, dry well and place in a bowl. For the fennel bulb, start by removing the top portion of the bulb where the frond stems are. Then slice it in half and remove the inner core. For this salad I use a mandolin to get really thin slices of fennel. Almost shaved…you can also use a knife, just cut as thin as possible.

Once the fennel is ready, it’s time to slice the orange. Cut the skin off the orange with a knife. Make sure to get as close to the flesh without removing too much of the inner fruit. I cut the ends off first and then the sides. Cut the orange into slices. Once this is done, set the orange slices aside.

Assembling the salad

Grab your baby kale and add the thinly sliced fennel. Toss in half of the Orange Honey Dressing. Place on a platter and add the orange slices on top and add more dressing (if needed) salt and fresh cracked pepper. Top with some orange zest and garnish with the fennel fronds.

Great add ons for this Orange Fennel Salad with Orange Honey Dressing are: Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, capers or olives. Also grilled chicken and shrimp are delicious on this salad!

Serve and enjoy every last citrusy bite!
