How to segment an orange
To segment an orange for this salad, you want to remove the membrane around each segment.
This can be done in a few simple steps:
- Using a small sharp knife, cut the top and bottom off the orange. This will let the orange sit flat on the chopping board.
- Placing the orange flat on the surface and use the knife to cut off the peel from top to bottom. This will remove the peel, pith and layer of membrane around the oranges.
- Hold the orange in your hand and carefully cut between the membrane and orange to the center, on both sides and as close to the membrane as possible. Slide the cut segment into a bowl and continue around the whole orange.
How to prepare fennel
To shave or thinly slice fennel you will need a sharp knife. Start by cutting off the green fronds, slice the fennel bulb in half length ways. Then cut out the core and root at the end, creating a wedge shape. Place the fennel flat side down and thinly slice (carefully!). (You can also use a mandolin if you have one).
