Shaved-Fennel Salad with Oranges and Pecorino

This fennel and orange salad with Pecorino is a vibrant celebration of crisp textures and bold, zesty flavours. The aniseed notes of the paper-thin fennel bulbs provide a refreshing crunch that pairs beautifully with the sweet acidity of the oranges. A rich, jewel-toned pomegranate reduction adds a sophisticated depth of flavour, perfectly balancing the salty tang of the aged Italian cheese.

As a light vegetarian starter or a sophisticated side dish, this recipe is remarkably simple to assemble yet looks elegant on any dinner table. High in vitamin C and naturally gluten-free, it makes a healthy addition to a weekend lunch or a refreshing accompaniment to grilled fish. Serve it immediately to ensure the fennel remains perfectly crisp and the citrus notes stay bright.
