Citrus, Celery and Shaved Fennel Salad Recipe

Citrus, Celery and Shaved Fennel Salad Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole-grain or coarse-grain mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 navel oranges
  • 2 grapefruit (preferably pink)
  • 2 medium fennel bulbs (sometimes called anise), stalks cut off and discarded
  • 3 celery ribs, cut diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices
  1. Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking, until combined.
  2. Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges and grapefruit with a paring knife. Working over a bowl, cut segments free from membranes. Squeeze juice from membranes into a small bowl, then whisk 3 tablespoons juice into vinaigrette. Drain citrus segments, then add to vinaigrette.
  3. Quarter fennel bulbs lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into paper-thin slices (about 1/16 inch thick) with slicer. Add to fruit along with celery and toss gently to combine.
