Step 2

Rinse fennel and thinly slice crosswise (or use a mandoline); arrange slices over oranges.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil evenly over fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Scatter olives over salad.

This is very good, very pretty on the platte, and so simple. You could have the fennel sliced and the oranges peels, and assemble quickly before serving. I should have saved this meal for valentines day, but I served this with herdes de provence lamb chops and green beans. Everything looked so pretty. I am having the salad again with my lunch today.
