In reply to Marisa J Stobbe. So all the ingredients keep well. If left out, orange slices with dry and the fennel will get slightly less of a crisp crunch over time, but it's still not much. If you make ahead, I would keep it in the fridge in a sealed container (a day should be fine) then just serve on plates when needed.

How is this if you make it ahead of time?

This was such a bright salad. Perfect to lighten up winter. Oranges and fennel are such a classic combination. Kalamata olives are always so delicious!

This fennel orange salad was a burst of sunshine on a plate! The balance of citrusy sweetness and that subtle anise kick from the fennel was just pitch-perfect. Your tip about slicing the fennel thinly made all the difference in texture. Keep these creative, fresh recipes coming, they're always a hit at my table!

I think this salad would work great not only health-wise but also any time you would need to boost your mood a bit. The colors are amazing and they do make me want to smile a bit. Needless to say, fennel is a fantastic ingredient to use.

In reply to ZEBA DURRANI. Thanks Zeba, I really should get a mandolin to make it easier :) But either way it works so well here and is simple but tasty.

Caroline...this salad looks beautiful. I love fennel and use a mandolin to get very thin slices. Looks fresh and perfect!

In reply to Jhuls | The Not So Creative Cook. Thanks Jhuls, I do like strawberries as well although more for snacking, in general (but I've put them in baking, drinks and more too!). Glad you like this salad, it's so easy but tasty!

I know what you mean by summer and winter salads. Strawberries are also in season, but I prefer them during summer months. But because they are in season, I tend to buy in bulk for smoothies and to eat them as is. This salad looks absolutely beautiful and sounds delicious!
