Instructions
- 1
Trim the fennel bulbs: cut off the stalks and reserve a small handful of the feathery fronds. Halve each bulb through the root, then use a mandoline or a sharp knife to shave each half crosswise into very thin slices, about 1/16 inch thick. Place the shaved fennel in a large mixing bowl.

Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then stand each orange upright and slice away the peel and white pith following the curve of the fruit. Working over the bowl of fennel to catch any juice, cut between the membranes to release the segments. Squeeze the spent membranes over the bowl to extract any remaining juice, then discard the membranes.
