Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-4 medium size potatoes (we prefer yellow flesh)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 fennel bulb, cut into slivers
  • 2 oranges, cut into segments with the pith and membrane removed
  • 1/2 cup red onion slices
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, and cut in half
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped up fennel fronds

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them in half.  Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them.   Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.  Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low and boil for about 20 minutes, until you can easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Drain, and let the potatoes cool.  Once they have cooled, cut them into bite-sized cubes.
  • In a bowl large enough to hold all of your salad ingredients, combine the potatoes, fennel, oranges, red onion, capers, olives, parsley and fennel fronds.
    1 fennel bulb, cut into slivers, 2 oranges, cut into segments with the pith and membrane removed, 1/2 cup red onion slices, 1 tbsp capers, 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, and cut in half, 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped, 1 tbsp chopped up fennel fronds
  • Combine all of your dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.  Alternatively, place all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake to combine.
    1/4 cup olive oil, 3 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons orange juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and using a rubber spatula toss gently to ensure that all ingredients are coated with the dressing.
  • This salad is best served shortly after preparing it.
  • Enjoy!
