Mound of orange fennel salad with orange garnishes

Salads Surprising Flavors for Your Palate

Some salads bring the tastes of spring to the table, while others pick up the savory notes of autumn for their inspiration. Fennel, high in vitamin C and minerals, is an anise-flavored relative of carrots and dill, with a satisfying crunch and slightly sweet aroma, and is a classic foil for juicy orange bits. The intoxicating aroma of fresh mint, the floral notes of coriander seed (from the same plant as cilantro) and the heady blend of vinegar and olive oil all add to this easy-to-make and appetizing salad.
