Orange and Fennel Salad
A fresh, light and well balanced salad
This salad’s origin is from Sicily where oranges grow in abundance. The salad can be served as a side dish, starter or even lunch on a warm summers day.
It’s a well known fact that oranges are a great source of immune boosting Vitamin C but so is fennel. A lesser known fact is that oranges are a good source of calcium too. Fennel have a long list of health benefits as well.
