Fennel, Orange and Olive Salad is a combination of refreshing and healthy ingredients that complement each other perfectly. The fennel bulb and orange segments create an interesting sweet and sour balance, while the black olives add a salty touch to the dish. The salad is dressed with a zingy olive oil and white wine vinegar dressing that brings everything together and adds an extra layer of flavor. This salad can be served as a side dish or a light meal on its own. It's perfect for a summer lunch or just a quick and easy dinner on a hot day.

Instructions

1.	Slice the fennel bulb very thinly and place in a large mixing bowl.
2.	Cut off the top and bottom of the orange, and then slice off the peel and pith in sections. Cut the sections into small pieces and add to the bowl with the fennel.
3.	Pit the olives and slice them roughly, before adding them to the same bowl.
4.	Whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated. Serve cold.

PROS

This salad is light and refreshing, with a zesty dressing that will brighten up any meal.

The combination of fennel and orange provides a unique, sweet and slightly bitter flavor, while olives add a salty touch.

CONS

The fennel flavor may not be for everyone, and some may find the strong aniseed flavor off-putting.

In addition, the black olives may be too salty for some palates.
