Recipe Notes

This salad is so versatile.  If you don’t have blood oranges, use any citrus you have on hand such as mandarin, lemon, grapefruit or even lime.  For the more tart citrus, add a teaspoon or so of honey to counter the acidity. If you don’t like fennel, use celery or jicama instead.  Add your favorite protein for a lovely lunch.  The options are endless! Pro tip–don’t throw out those fennel fronds–use as a garnish or add to fish stock.  Enjoy!
