ROASTED FENNEL AND ORANGE SALAD

In summer, I keep my time in the kitchen to a minimum, because I don't want to lose those precious sun rays. I try to figure out how to quickly prepare a meal in order to spend as much time outdoors as possible, catching vitamin D. My holiday menu is full of colourful salads, which I can quickly pack into a lunch box and go out into the field.

Ingredients:

• 2 fennel
• 100 ml of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 oranges
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 red onion
• 10 cheery tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons of mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon of parsley leaves
• a handful of rocket
• balsamic cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat an oven into 200 degrees C.
2. Cut the fennel into wedges (put the green part aside for decoration).
3. Put fennel on a baking sheet, sprinkle with olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast for about 40-60 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, peal the orange and cut, trying to remove as many white membranes as possible.
7. In a bowl, mix the lemon juice with the rest of the olive oil.
8. Put chopped orange, onion and tomatoes into a larger bowl.
9. Add half the dressing and half the mint.
10. On a plate put the rocket, the mixture with orange and roasted fennel.
