Description
A refreshing salad featuring thinly sliced fennel, sweet mandarins, and creamy burrata cheese, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fennel bulbs preferably firm and fresh
- 3 mandarins peeled and segmented
- 200 g burrata cheese preferably at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin preferred
- to taste salt preferably flaky sea salt
- to taste black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Start by thinly slicing the fennel bulbs crosswise with a sharp knife, aiming for almost translucent, delicate slices. Place the fennel slices into a large mixing bowl to prepare for assembly.
- Gently peel the mandarins and cut them into thin slices, removing any membranes. Add the segments to the bowl with the fennel slices.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the fennel and mandarins, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss everything gently to coat the ingredients without breaking up the segments.
- Transfer the salad mixture onto a serving platter or individual plates, creating an even layer that showcases the colorful segments and crisp fennel slices.
- Finish the presentation with a light drizzle of extra olive oil, an optional pinch of sea salt, and a few extra black pepper grounds for flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
