This is a refreshing salad that would almost be better served after your main course. It has a way of lightening up the entire meal. A Sicilian classic. Pairing the sweet navel oranges with the licorice flavor of the fresh fennel and then a drizzle of the finest olive oil transports you right over to the Mediterranean and all of a sudden, you're on vacation. (I go on a lot of vacations, just by closing my eyes.)
This is also as easy as it gets. I hope you'll be enjoying it soon.
