Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 can (15.5) ounces white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 oranges I used Cara Cara, see note*
  • ¼ red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 bulb of fennel thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons light olive oil you can also use extra virgin if you prefer
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

  • You will take 1 orange, use a sharp knife to cut down and remove the peel. Carefully, try to remove as little of the fruit as possible. Save those peels with some fruit to add to dressing. Then, slice and chop the orange. The other orange cut in half for the dressing. The third orange is optional and for if you want to cut some thin slices with the skin on for garnish. If you do this be sure to wash the orange outside well.
  • In a jar combine the juice of the orange and saved peels, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Shake to mix up and taste.
  • In a large bowl combine the white beans, fennel, orange, red onion, and cucumber.
  • Pour over the dressing and mix. You can let the salad sit for up 15 minutes or up to 6 hours before plating. *Note: if marinating for more than 45 minutes, place in the fridge.
  • Add to a large serving platter or bowl.
  • Garnish with orange slices (be sure to clean the orange beforehand) and the feathery tops of the fennel. If desired sprinkle more black pepper and salt over top.
