There’s no better way to celebrate citrus season than with a salad!

I love eating mandarin oranges between meals because they’re sweet to taste and easy to peel, so why not promote them from a simple snack to a delicioius main meal?

Mandarin Orange Salad with Fennel and Radicchio

That’s the idea behind this citrus salad! Complimented by the sweet anise flavor of fennel and the bitter bite of radicchio, the flavor of each forkful is so complex and delicious, you’d never guess it was made up of only four ingredients. Now, mandarins are my favorite kind of citrus, but you can easily substitute for any kind of clementine or tangerine. The choice is yours, but the result is guaranteed to be delicious.

Finished with a lemony-orange vinaigrette, this simple salad will ignite your taste buds after a long winter!
