Preparation
Preparing the Fennel and Oranges
Trim and Slice Fennel
Trim the fennel bulbs, reserving fronds, and slice them thinly with a mandoline or sharp knife.
Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly thin fennel slices. Be cautious when using the mandoline to avoid cuts.
Segment Oranges
Peel the oranges, remove the white pith, and segment them by cutting between the membranes.
Chill the oranges in the fridge for 15 minutes before segmenting for easier handling.
Remove Pomegranate Seeds
Remove seeds carefully from the pomegranate to gather a cup of seeds.
