Walnut Free Fig, Fennel & Orange Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

This salad is a showstopper — sweet figs, juicy orange segments, and paper-thin shaved fennel come together in a way that feels both elegant and effortlessly fresh. The apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together with a gentle tang, warmed by ground turmeric and ginger for a dressing that's anything but ordinary. Peppery arugula and torn mint leaves add layers of flavor that keep every bite interesting from start to finish. The whole thing comes together with straightforward pantry staples and fresh produce, so there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden nut ingredients sneaking into your bowl. Supreming the oranges directly over the salad bowl is a small technique that pays off big — you capture every drop of juice and it naturally becomes part of the dressing. A final pinch of flaky sea salt over the top before serving pulls all those bright, sweet, and savory notes into focus. This is the kind of salad that earns compliments at a dinner party but is honestly simple enough to make on a weeknight.
