8 Ingredient Roasted Fennel Salad with Avocado & Orange

This 8 Ingredient Roasted Fennel Salad is light and refreshing, yet satisfying. While the roasted fennel and almonds give this salad depth, the avocado makes it creamy. And of course, the orange, dill and parsley are responsible for the refreshing touch. It’s made with only 8 ingredients and doesn’t require a lot of hands-on time.

I understand that fennel may be a daunting vegetable for some. It’s flavour profile basically screams “aniseed” which is something not all of us like. If you’re unsure about fennel, I highly recommend roasting it. The aniseed flavour isn’t as strong once the fennel is roasted and the vegetable gets really soft and sweet from the caramelisation.

This salad works great as an addition to a bigger spread or as a light summer meal on its own. It’s also great for lunches to take to work or uni.

This roasted fennel salad is refreshing yet satisfying. Delicious as a side dish, but just as good on its own.
