Elevate Your Culinary Experience with This Fennel and Blood Orange Salad

Today, I am excited to share a unique and delicious recipe that I recently discovered. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion when you want to impress your guests with something out of the ordinary.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients (approximate weights):

• fennel bulb
• blood oranges
• goat cheese
• pistachios
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• medium bowl
• whisk
• small pan

Start by thinly slicing the fennel bulb and segmenting the blood oranges. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create a dressing. Toss the sliced fennel in the dressing until well coated.

In a small pan over low heat, toast the pistachios until fragrant, then roughly chop them. Crumble the goat cheese into small pieces.

To assemble the dish, arrange the dressed fennel slices on a serving plate. Top with the blood orange segments, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted pistachios. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the top for extra flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 535g, and it serves 4 people with an average serving weight of 133g. Each serving is estimated to be around 250 calories.

One tip to make this dish extra special is to lightly toast the crumbled goat cheese in a dry pan before adding it to the salad. This will enhance its flavor and give it a nice crispy texture.
