This salad is a beautiful addition to any table spread with its vibrant orange and deep magenta hues. Hearty radicchio and fennel have real staying power--even after they've been tossed with dressing--which makes this ideal for times when you need a make-ahead salad for a buffet or to take to a potluck. We love the color of blood oranges, but you can use all navel or Cara Cara oranges.
How to Make It
Cut 1 navel orange in half; squeeze juice from orange into a bowl to equal 2 tablespoons. Peel blood oranges and 1 remaining navel orange; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Whisk together orange juice, oil, vinegar, syrup, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Cut radicchio heads in half lengthwise. Remove core from radicchio heads, and gently break into separate leaves. Tear fennel fronds to equal 3 tablespoons.
Arrange radicchio leaves, orange slices, and fennel slices on a large platter. Drizzle with dressing, and sprinkle with torn fronds.
