Insalata di finocchi e arance rosse- Sicilian salad
This is one of my favourite early spring salads and a good way to say farewell to two great winter products- fennel and blood oranges.
Although this recipe originated in Sicily, my family has adopted it long ago with great pleasure- it's a perfect blend of sweet and salty flavours, with a "kick" of licorice taste provided by the fennel..all tied together but a generous amount of Extra Virgin!
