Fennel, beets and orange salad

Here's the recipe, as promised.
It's a great salad on its own or an even better bed for a chunk of grilled/seared fish....


So, very easy...
Slice very thinly  some fennel, beet and radish.
Also peel and slice an orange, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Make sure you remove the pits and the white peel from the orange slices.

Toss everything in the bowl, adding lemon juice, S&P and the best olive oil you have.
Don't forget the beets will tend to dye everything red, so be careful...

Place some sturdy lettuces in the plate and arrange the vegetables on top and the orange slices.
Drizzle liberally with the dressing and you're done...

Now, a nice addition to this salad would be dry cranberries and almonds, or toasted pumpkinseed.

Personally I would not add any cheese, but cooking is like rock'n'roll, so feel free to improv.

Enjoy!
