This is so good and sophisticated. I didn't like the fennel raw (when I jus tried it when cutting it up). But after letting in "marinate" it was fabulous!! I sliced everything really really thinly. Will make again often! Really great for a dinner party. Thanks for posting Nif! Stacy G, Culinary Quest 2017, Wales

I found this salad unique and enjoyable and what I like most is that it is low on calories without any loss of taste. I found the fennel to be the most interesting of the ingredients with its natural licorice flavor. It balanced well with the oranges and dressing. I'll be having it again for my lunch at work tomorrow. Thank you for sharing Nif. Made it for CQ 4, 2017 - Wales.

I scaled back for one serve and did use mandarine instead of a navel orange but thoroughly enjoyed the sweetness of the fruit with that slight aniseed taste from the fennel and the crunchy taste of the onion and fennel and the dressing just bought it all together to make a great salad for lunch with some tinned red salmon, thank you Nif, made for Went to Market.

Love the combo of orange & fennel in this very easy-to-make salad! Different from most salads I serve, & I look forward to preparing it again when we have company for dinner! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday recipe tag]
