With just a hint of brandy, this citrus salad from Alisha Randell is all grown up.
By Alisha Randell
The pairing of snappy fennel and creamy avocado add a wonderful array of textures as well as flavors.
A note about the flavors:
The fennel has a quaint licorice sent and flavor similar to what you would akin to anise.
The Kumquats are quite small and have a sharp tangy citrus flavor, quite tart in fact.
The Clementines are tangy like a Tangerine but a bit sweeter, depending on season of course.
The Blood Orange has a deeper flavor and somewhat reminiscent of a berry.
They are all a lovely combination but whatever you have available works…

Lovely! I bet that is a delicious salad, especially for these summer months
Wonderful salad!
Gorgeous salad, Alisha! I do admire your restraint in advocating ‘dipping’ in brandy. I think I’ll be marinating mine! ;-)
