Ingredients
 

For the Salad

  • 2 medium bulbs fennel, shaved
  • 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 navel oranges, peeled and segmented
  • cup dried cranberries
  • cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons fennel fronds, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest

For the Dressing

  • cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey, or Agave, if Vegan
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

To Make the Dressing

  • Add all the dressing ingredients in a salad dressing shaker.
  • Shake well to combine until the dressing is emulsified, then set it aside, while you prepare the salad. If you don't have a shaker, you can use a small bowl and whisk instead.

To Make the Salad

  • Wash and dry your fennel, then cut off the stems and discard or save to use in a vegetable stock. Chop 2 tablespoons of the fronds and set them aside to use in the salad. Slice each fennel bulb in half.
  • Using a mandolin slicer set on the thinnest slicer setting, slice each section of fennel.
  • Add the fennel to a large mixing bowl. Repeat the process with the red onion.
  • Zest each orange and save for garnishing the salad. Carefully slice the rind and pith off each orange, then run your knife between each membrane to remove the segments.
  • Add the orange segments in the same bowl with the fennel, then add in the sliced red onion, cranberries, toasted chopped walnuts, baby spinach and chopped fennel fronds.
  • Pour the dressing over the top, then gently toss to combine making sure everything is well coated in the dressing. Serve in a large bowl or platter and garnish with the reserved orange zest.
