If you want a true taste of Sicily, this Orange and Fennel Salad is it. It’s known locally as Insalata di Arance e Finocchi and is an absolute icon of southern Italian cooking, showing up on practically every family table year-round. The secret? Beautiful simplicity. There's no cooking involved—just sweet oranges, salty olives, crunchy fennel, and great olive oil doing their thing. It’s fresh, it’s easy, and it’s practically begging for a piece of bread to mop up the plate afterward.
