Quick and easy salad that packs in the Umami.
Combine the fennel bulb slices, chopped stalks and sliced orange in a salad or mixing bowl. Give the mixture a firm such that the orange slices are getting muddled. Set this aside at room temperature or refrigerate-up to you.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the onion seeds and red pepper flakes once the oil is hot. Let them bloom for a minute or two and turn off the heat. Let this mixture cool completely.
To the cooled oil mixture, add salt, sherry vinegar and lemon juice. This is your salad dressing. Add it to the fennel-orange mixture. Let the salad refrigerate for an hour or so for the flavors to combine if you have the time. If not, enjoy it right away!
