Fennel Serrano Salad w/ Pomegranate & Deconstructed Vinaigrette

Made this up and I must say it turned out lovely, no?


Here's what I did:

  • arugula
  • shaved fennel
  • serrano or proscuitto, cut into ribbons
  • pomegranate seeds
  • balsamic vinegar reduction (on another page, you basically simmer it for a long time with butter)
  • orange oil (all i did was put a bunch of orange rinds (cut in small pieces) into a small container of olive oil and let it sit over night. By morning, I had a very lovely orange oil. Ok, moving on.
  • Compose arugula & fennel in the center of the plate, and arrage it with the proscuitto ribbons.
  • Sprinkle pomegranate seeds around and make it pretty
  • Balsamic reduction goes along one side of the plate, and I drizzled the other rim of the plate with the orange oil. This way, you have a vinaigrette that you can create and play around with the flavors. It's fun, pretty, and really not that bad for you.
I am so fancy!!!
