Fresh fennel is an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium, the flavonoids quercetin and rutin, and the phytonutrient anethole. The strong antioxidant properties found in fennel help reduce inflammation and prevent cancer. Serve this salad with cooked quinoa and baked wild salmon for a balanced meal.

1 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
¼ cups freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ cups extra virgin olive oil
