Hi, I am a German Chef and Food Photographer. The imparting of cooking knowledge is my great passion. Everyone can cook for himself and with this website I would like to contribute to its success. Cooking questions I answer you gladly at the end of the articles. Have fun and good luck!

Here I show you my fennel salad recipe. This salad is healthy, quick to make and incredibly tasty.

My fennel salad has a spicy, subtle taste and thrives on contrasts: aniseed-spicy fennel versus sweet, juicy orange – full-fruity orange versus red pepper – nutty pine nuts versus roasted fennel.

So you’re in for some taste explosions: let yourself be surprised and carried away by the culinary delights.

Directly from my kitchen, I now show you how to prepare it with great pictures and a cooking video. Enjoy cooking and good luck!

1. Prepare fennel salad fresh, the cooking pro tips and shopping list

For a wonderful smelling vegetable salad I have summarised the following advice for you:

Get very fresh, firm and juicy fennel bulbs.
The fennel bulb should be intact with no dry or brown spots.
The cabbage of the fennel bulb should appear crisp green overall.
You will still need juicy oranges for this vegetable salad variation.
Spices: Do you have salt, pepper, brown sugar and chilli in your kitchen cupboard?
Think about pine nuts, cashews or walnuts.
A good quality old balsamic vinegar and olive oil for the marinade.

You can use the fresh fennel bulb completely, leftover fennel tastes great juiced!
Preparation tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Fennel cut — Cut the fennel for the salad into thin slices with a sharp knife. You can also use a slicer.

Ingredients

Prepare vegetables
250	g	fennel (I use organic vegetables)
1/4	tsp	Salt (I use primal salt or Himalayan salt)
4-6	pinches	black pepper grounded
1	tsp	Sugar (I use brown cane sugar)
Oranges and dressing
2	pc	Oranges
1	tbs	balsamico (gold variant 10 years and older)
1	tbs	oliv oil
Decorate and refine
1/2	tsp	red pepper (optional, sog. Schinus Früchte)
1	tbs	pine nuts (optional)

Instruction

Cut out the orange fillet — You can cut out the orange fillets from the peeled orange without white skin.

Cut off the top and bottom 🙂 of the oranges and remove the skin with the white by making a diagonal cut. Hold the peeled orange in your hand and cut out the orange fillets over a bowl. Collect the orange juice in the bowl and keep the fillets ready. I show you how to fillet oranges in detail in a cooking school article with a cooking video.

Pine nuts in the pan — Pine nuts get their roasted aroma in the pan.

Briefly roast the pine nuts in a little oil. Then put them in a bowl and season with salt. Set aside for serving.

Wash and dry the fennel bulb, remove the outer layer from the fennel depending on its condition. Opt for a fine cut here, fine strips and slices are just right! Use a slicer or a sharp knife.

Fennel slices in the grill pan — Fennel slices can be roasted very well in a grill pan.

Sauté a few slices of fennel in a pan without oil over a high heat and then set aside.

All the ingredients for marinating fennel — Marinating fresh fennel: an overview of the ingredients.

Season thinly sliced fennel herb with salt, pepper and sugar.

Marinate the fennel — Fennel is kneaded well by hand for marinating

Knead the fennel herb vigorously with your hands and set aside.

Mix the balsamic dressing — Dressing with original Italian balsamic vinegar reduced to intensify the taste

Reduce the orange juice in a saucepan to three tablespoons.

Orange balsamic dressing — Dressing made from reduced balsamic vinegar mixed with oil and juice of fresh oranges

Mix the orange juice with salt, pepper, sugar, balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Marinate the fennel slaw with the orange balsamic dressing and arrange on a plate. Add the orange fillets and place the fried fennel slices attractively on top. Decorate with pine nuts and fennel slaw and serve sprinkled with pepper. Enjoy your meal!
