Orange, Fennel, and Arugula Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette
Spicy arugula and citrusy oranges are a perfect match for a snappy ginger vinaigrette.

Ingredients:
Serves 4

Vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 piece (2 inches) fresh ginger , grated (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt , plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper , plus more to taste
Salad:

  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 2 oranges , skin and pith removed, sliced crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick circles
  • 1 large fennel bulb , trimmed and very thinly sliced
In a jar, combine lemon juice, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Close jar tightly; shake well. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss arugula, orange, and fennel; drizzle with dressing. Season with additional salt and pepper before serving.

Note:The fresh ginger should be peeled unless otherwise noted. To grate fresh ginger, use a microplane grater or a triangular ginger grater, which will catch unwanted ginger fibers in its teeth, leaving behind a juicy, concentrated pulp.
