Ingredients

  • medium blood oranges 
  • tablespoon champagne vinegar 
  • teaspoon fennel fronds minced
  • tablespoon olive oil extra-virgin
  • 0.3 cup pistachios lightly toasted
  • servings salt and pepper black freshly ground to taste

Equipment

  • bowl
  • knife
  • cutting board

Directions

  1. Place the sliced fennel in a salad bowl.
  2. Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange. Working with 1 orange at a time, set the fruit on a cutting board, one cut side down. Using a chef’s knife, slice away the peel from top to bottom following the curve of the fruit, removing all the white pith, but leaving as much flesh as possible. Repeat with the remaining orange. Slice oranges into sections by cutting between the membrane of each section.
  3. Add them and any accumulated juice to the bowl with the fennel, followed by the jicama.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper. Toss well, top with toasted pistachios and minced fennel fronds.
  5. Serve.
