1 Video | Photo: Citrus Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large orange, peeled and ends trimmed
- 1 grapefruit, peeled and ends trimmed
- 1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Directions
Place a sieve over a medium bowl. Hold an orange over the bowl, and using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and let them fall into the sieve. Repeat with the grapefruit. Squeeze the membranes over the bowl to extract as much juice as possible, reserving the juices in the bottom of the bowl. Place the fruit segments and fennel in a salad bowl.
In a blender or the bowl of a small food processor, blend together the oil, basil and 3 tablespoons of the reserved juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over the fruit and fennel. Add the chopped walnuts and toss until all the ingredients are coated.

Loved the salad. Didn't make enough to serve our family; so put with head of chopped romaine lettuce and 1 stalk of celery. The dressing was yummy but too watery. How would you thicken it up? Definitely will be making this again but need to figure out the dressing. : Our first fennel experience.

The salad was good, refreshing and easy. I just found it difficult to segment the fruit; it wasnt as easy as Giada made it, or as neat. Great salad for summer!

I read the reviews and thought this should be good. What a disappointment. Did everyone make the same thing? I just ate the fruit and dumped the rest in the garbage. I hate when you spend a lot of money on a recipe and its bad. Save your money especially with the cost of fennel!
