ORANGES, FENNEL AND ROCKET LEAVES SALAD

This salad is a delicious fusion between the sweetness of the orange, sharp aniseed flavour  of the fennel and peppery taste of the rocket salad.  You've got an interesting blend of different textures working together harmoniously and delivering fresh crisp accompaniment to any meat, poultry or a fish dish.  This salad is packed with vitamins, very healthy and is good on its own as a vegan or vegetarian option.

For 8 people you need:

4 oranges

1 medium size fennel bulb

1 small red onion 

1 packet of rocket leaves

100 gr of pitted Kalamata or black olives (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Method:
Peel and slice the oranges into the bite sized chunks.  Try to do it over the bowl to catch up the juices. Then thinly slice the fennel and read onion, add rocket leaves and give everything a good toss.  Add a good splash of extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the olives on top.  

Enjoy!
