Citrus Fennel Salad with Burrata & Chili Crisp

This Citrus Fennel Salad is so bright and full of flavor! Perfect for when citrus is in its peak season, this salad is so simple. Add some thinly sliced fennel, a light dressing, creamy burrata cheese (my favorite cheese), and garnished with the warm heat of a flavorful chili crisp!

Ingredients

  • 1 Blood orange
  • 1 Naval orange or any "regular" orange
  • 1 Grapefruit
  • 1 large Fennel bulb with fronds
  • 2 Burrata
  • Chili Crisp of choice (momofuku or lao gan ma)

For the Dressing

  • 1-2 cloves Garlic grated
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 3 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Agave

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing the top and bottom off of the orange so that it is flat and exposes the inside fruit. Set the orange flat on one side, vertically. 
  • Take a sharp knife and cut off the peel and all of the white pith, going in vertical strips from top to bottom. The end result should look like a naked orange, still round, with no white pith remaining. 
  • Repeat this with the blood orange and the grapefruit. Then, slice the orange and blood orange into thin slices (rounds). 
  • For the grapefruit, you can slice it like the other fruits, but I prefer to supreme the grapefruit. To do this, take the "naked grapefruit" and slice next to the vertical lines to pull out grapefruit wedges without any of the pith. 
  • Over a medium sized bowl, slice about ½ a bulb of fennel with a mandoline over the bowl.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, grate 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, add lime juice, honey, olive oil and a pinch of salt. TIP: Add any remaining juices from the cutting board from the other citrus for more flavor. 
  • Whisk until well combined and emulsified.
  • Combine the dressing with the sliced fennel and toss to coat. 
  • On a serving plate, layer the citrus slices and wedges along with the dressed fennel. Add as much or as little of the fennel as you like. Drizzle any remaining salad dressing over the citrus.
  • Tear open burrata and place over top of the salad. Drizzle with chili crisp oil and add flaky sea salt on top. Garnish with fennel fronds!

Notes

  • This recipe is super versatile, it would also be great with some thinly sliced red onion or some smashed castelvetrano olives or maybe even some creamy avocado and fresh mint leaves. Feel free to mix it up!
  • For tips on segmenting the grapefruit, refer to this tutorial video. Also, feel free to use that method for all the citrus if you prefer. 
  • This salad is a great side dish for the winter months! Citrus is in peak season this time of year, so it is extra juicy and sweet!
