Strazzanti's Fennel Orange Salad

I saw this* recipe by my e-friend, Francesco Strazzanti, and *had* to try it!

You can see a *ton* of his excellent recipes on his YouTube channel here https://youtube.com/@strazzanticucina

It calls for:

Fennel

Orange 

Orange peel

Black olives

Red onion, soaked in orange juice, salt, and sugar

Salt, pepper, and olive oil to taste 

I was intrigued by all different flavors; I like both orange and fennel, and I *love* cooking with orange peel! I sometimes enjoy olives, but I was a bit worried about the raw onion...

Not to worry! It's a classic for a reason...

~~~

* as usual, I had to modify it just a bit 😒... I used 2 mandarins instead of the Sicilian orange, and a shallot instead of the red onion.
