Instructions
- Wash your vegetables and slice the fennel, pepper and endive into julienne (or matchstick like) strips. Place in a large mixing bowl.1 medium fennel bulb, 1 bell pepper, orange, 1 endive
- Peel your orange using a sharp knife in order to get as much of the white pith off as possible. Then, carefully segment your orange. To do this, you will cut out the orange wedges, placing your knife between the membrane on both sides of the orange wedge. What you should be left with is orange pieces that have little to no membrane on them. Cut each wedge in half, and add to the salad bowl.1 large orange
- Peel your carrot. Then, using your vegetable peeler, peel strips of carrot and add them to the mixing bowl.1 carrot, (purple if you can find it)
- Prepare your vinaigrette by mixing together all of the dressing ingredients. Add as much vinaigrette as you would like to the salad and toss well. All the vegetables should be coated with vinaigrette.
