Tuscan+Orange+and+Fennel+Country+Salad


 * Tuscan Orange and Fennel Country Salad**

//Micheline's recipe//

Prep Time: 25 minutes Ingredients:


 * 3-4 Oranges
 * Salt
 * Olive Oil
 * A medium-large fennel bulb
 * Balsamic vinegar

Preparation: 3 or 4 medium sized oranges- peeled and sliced--this really depends on preference. Some people prefer chunks-I think slices are nice and that is the way I was taught by relatives in the Tuscan country side (by Arezzo). I think it brings out the juices better.

Salt the oranges and drizzle generously with olive oil. Put aside while you cut the fennel to allow salt to bring out the juices.

Clean and quarter a medium-to-large bulb of fennel and slice it. Toss it with the oranges and season with some more salt, and also pepper at this point.

Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss one more time.
