Citrus is the star of this radicchio and fennel salad. Made with slices of juicy pink Cara Cara and navel oranges it\u2019s bound to brighten up any winter day! Together with thinly sliced pear, fresh herbs and red onion, this delicious winter salad is tossed in a citrusy sumac dressing. The result: a deliciously refreshing and light salad that is packed with flavor and nutrients.<\/p>\n

Whether its a radicchio salad with oranges or fennel salad with oranges, the combination is a star! And this recipe, combining both radicchio and fennel is my favorite citrus salad yet! It shows off the season\u2019s best, by using a mix of oranges and pear, which, with their natural sweetness, are a great contrast to both the bitter and anise-like elements. Another fantastic element of this salad is the shaved parmesan \u2014 it\u2019s rich slightly salty, umami flavor is the perfect compliment to both radicchio and fennel \u2014 and elevates the flavor of this salad even further.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/a><\/p>\n

Choosing oranges for a citrus salad<\/h2>\n

Oranges are of course the star, so if you are looking to impress with flavor and color, then try a mix of different types of oranges. I like Cara Cara (pink Navel) and Navel as they are sweet, juicy and seedless. Blood oranges are another great choice. Since Cara Cara oranges are gaining popularity, they can now be found at some supermarkets, otherwise, look for them at your local farmers market.<\/p>\n

Preparing the oranges<\/h3>\n

Rather than cutting away the peel and then slicing the oranges, I prefer to first slice the orange into wheels, and then cut away the peel and pith. I find there is less waste this way.<\/p>\n

What to serve with a Radicchio and Fennel Salad with Orange<\/h2>\n

With all these colours and flavours, this salad makes a show-stopping side dish for any dinner (or brunch for that matter). It\u2019s pairs amazingly with grilled chicken (I love to served it with my citrus marinated grilled chicken recipe<\/a>), or try it fish such as halibut, ling or salmon. For a vegetarian alternative pair it with a side of couscous or pearl barley, lemony Greek potatoes, or try it alongside a simple risotto.<\/p>\n

I hope you love it as much as I do!
