Fennel, Orange & Pomegranate Salad with Honey Citrus Vinaigrette is a vibrant, refreshing salad featuring crisp fennel, juicy orange slices, and tart pomegranate seeds, all tossed in a sweet and tangy citrus dressing.

Ingredients

  • 1 fresh fennel bulb, thinly sliced
  • 2 oranges (navel or blood), peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 cup arugula or mixed greens (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim fennel stalks, remove the tough outer layer, and slice the bulb thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  2. Peel and segment the oranges, removing seeds and pith.
  3. Arrange fennel and orange segments on a platter or in a large bowl. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving. Gently toss or layer to coat evenly.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint and, if desired, a handful of arugula or mixed greens.

Notes

  • Add avocado or toasted almonds for creaminess and crunch.
  • Crumbled feta or goat cheese adds a savory touch.
  • Swap oranges for grapefruit or tangerines depending on the season.
  • Store vinaigrette separately if prepping in advance to maintain freshness.
  • Serve with grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp for a complete meal.
