Springtime Salad with White Wine and Fresh Orange Juice Reduction Dressing


Spring is here and with it comes some of my favorite produce. Fennel, Radishes and Oranges are great to pick up at the local markets right now. They taste perfect together in this light and easy salad. The dressing is made of white wine reduced down with fresh squeezed orange juice and no other ingredients. The combinations is crisp and tasty.

Ingredients:

Salad:
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
3/4 cups fennel sliced thin
2 radishes chopped in half and sliced thin
1/8 cup red onion sliced thin
1/2 of an orange peeled and sliced
1 handful of parsley chopped

Dressing
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

In a saucer combine white wine and fresh squeezed orange juice. Bring to a simmer on medium and let it reduce down on medium low for about 20-30 minutes, You should be left with a a little less than half a cup of dressing once it is finished.

Meanwhile chop and slice all your veggies and arrange them on a plate. Once the dressing is done pour half of it over your salad to absorb into the the veggies. Serve the remaining dressing along side the salad for those who would like more.

Yields: 1-2 servings
