Mario Batali’s fennel salad couldn’t be easier to make, but the flavors are stunningly complex.
Mario Batali's Shaved Fennel with Blood Oranges, Pecorino, and Pomegranates
So simple, and yet so inspired, this recipe floors us every time we make it. It just could not be any easier, but the complexity of flavors is astounding: the sweetness of the blood orange, the tart lemon juice, the salty pecorino, and the aromatic hit of fennel. The word “salad” doesn’t do it justice.
