Orange And Bamboo Salad With Fennel Dressing Recipe

Rising temperatures call for cooler dishes.  Treat yourself to this unique salad featuring refreshing Clementine oranges and tasty bamboo shoots.

Ingredients for your salad:

  • 1 romaine lettuce heart, chopped
  • 2 Clementine oranges, peeled and divided into sections
  • 7 oz. bamboo shoots, drained
  • ¼ c. fennel bulbs, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. white vinegar
  • ¼ c. olive oil

Here’s how to make your salad:

  1. Place the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl.  If the Clementine sections are too large, cut the sections in half.
  2. To make the dressing, blend the fennel, onion and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
    Combine the salt & vinegar with the fennel mix.  Then, stream the olive oil in slowly while blending until the mixture is emulsified.
  3. Gently toss the salad in the fennel dressing.

A quick and easy accompaniment for any barbecue or great as a light lunch during swimsuit season!  For more delicious recipes, visit Green Earth News’ Bamboo Flavors section!
