Since we’re still in the thick of citrus season we’re totally taking advantage! Today we have a SUPER simple mixed citrus and fennel frond salad. I know, I know…been there, done that…but seriously, there’s nothing more I love to eat during the winter months then all the citrus I can possibly consume. Also, with citrus and fennel, you can’t go wrong, ya know?!
One thing that I’ve done to spice this up just a little is that I’ve been brushing a thin layer of dijon mustard on the plate before adding the citrus. It just adds a touch of flavor and spice to the mix. I’m pretty into it. This is a great time of year to explore all the fun citruses that you can’t necessarily find year round. I’m pretty into oroblancos right now; I love how mild and sweet they are. In a pinch for a last minute dish to bring to a potluck or get together? Whip up this super fresh and easy mixed citrus and fennel salad! Enjoy! xx, Jenny

Wow, what a gorgeous spread. This would be great over some seared scallops!
I love the pop of green from the fennel fronds too. It looks like microgreens :)
I’ve never heard of ubi blanco and I couldn’t anything about it online. Is it like oroblanco? Where did you end up finding it?

Lol, oh man. I totally meant oroblanco! I have no idea why I wrote ubi blanco!
