  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

¼ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2½ teaspoons honey
1½ teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger, divided
A pinch of salt
3 large red plums, cut into thin wedges
½ small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
Olive oil, toasted sesame seeds, and fennel fronds for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk ¼ cup fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 2½ teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Cut 3 large red plums into thin wedges and thinly slice ½ small fennel bulb. Add to dressing; toss to coat. Cover and chill 30 minutes to allow fennel to soften and flavors to get to know one another.

    Step 2

    Toss ½ teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger into fruit salad. Serve drizzled with olive oil and topped with toasted sesame seeds and fennel fronds.
