Citrus-Fennel Salad
This Citrus-Fennel Salad is a sensory journey—each bite a brushstroke from a Mediterranean dusk. Crisp fennel whispers of cool breezes through orchard rows, while citrus segments gleam like sunset jewels: Cara Cara orange, ruby grapefruit, and pomelo, each offering a burst of brightness. Charred Medjool dates bring warmth and depth, their caramelized edges echoing the last rays of sun on stone. And then, the smoky almond dust—golden, fragrant, and just coarse enough to crunch—grounds the dish in earthy elegance. Finished with mint and fennel fronds, it’s not just a salad—it’s a moment suspended between day and night.
