Ingredients

  • 1 large fennel bulb thinly sliced
  • 1/2 orange segmented (optional; can omit to reduce carbs)
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange zest, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange the thinly sliced fennel on a plate. Add orange segments sparingly if desired.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the fennel.
  • Garnish with fennel fronds, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Slice the fennel paper-thin with a mandoline if you have one - thickness makes a real difference in this salad's texture. Keto Swap: full orange segments are replaced with a light scattering of segments, or omit entirely - orange adds carbs, so use it sparingly if you're tracking closely.
