Serves 4
- 3 navel oranges
- 1 large fennel
- 1 cup black olives (calamata would be perfect)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chilli pepper crushed
- 1 sprig fresh mint
- kosher salt
- Rinse the fennel and discard green leaves, stalk and bottom root. Halve it and thinly slice it crosswise.
- Peel oranges removing carefully all the outer white flesh. Halve them and slice them crosswise into 1/4" thick slices.
- (Optional) halve olives to remove kernels.
- Chop mint into thin strips.
- In a salad bowl toss fennel, oranges, olives, and dress with mint, olive oil, chilli pepper and a little salt. If you prepare it in advance, dress the salad just immediately before serving it.

love orange and fennel, and think the kalamata's salty/briny flavor would make a great addition.
