- 1 palmful (2 tablespoons) golden raisins
- 1 Navel orange, juiced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons hot water
- 2 bulbs fresh fennel, trimmed of tops and fronds, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 medium head raddichio, shredded
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 1 handful (3 tablespoons) pine nuts, toasted

I made this recipe along with some sirloin tip kebabs. I had to modify the recipe for the ingredients I had available. I substituted chopped walnuts for the pine nuts and 1/2 head of red cabbage for the radichio. I also added some julienned roma tomatoes for additional color. The taste was great and I would definitly make it again. Thanks Rachael.

I made this for dinner last night and quite enjoyed it. I was amazed that it did not have a strong fennel taste. I did add additional raisins as i enjoy fruit in my salad. My husband thought it was ok and my daughter was not fond of it at all. It tastes just as good the next day!
