Fennel and Orange Salad
Split the heads of fennel in half and remove the core. Slice the fennel bulb into thin strips and salt
lightly. Set aside some of the feathery leaves for garnish. Peel the oranges with a knife, removing
all skin and membranes. Cut into sections and combine with the fennel onto a salad platter. Drizzle
with olive oil and any lingering juice from the oranges. Garnish with olives, black pepper and fennel
sprigs. This is a light side dish to accompany meats or fish. It is traditionally served on Christmas
Eve with fried smelts, baccala (salted cod) stew and angel hair pasta
with anchovies and bread crumbs.

his recipe is a family tradition – with
a few conditions. It was only made on
football Sundays if, and only if, it snowed.
Fortunately, Stacey rebelled against the rule
for the party and served up this tasty dip
– just don’t tell her mom!
