Fennel and orange salad is a bright and refreshing dish from Moroccan cuisine that harmoniously combines the sweetness of citrus with the spicy aroma of fennel. Historically, Morocco is renowned for its gastronomic traditions featuring fresh and fragrant ingredients, and this salad is a vivid representative of such culinary art. Crunchy fennel paired with juicy orange segments creates a balance of textures, while the light acidity of orange juice, olive oil, and spices adds sophistication. This salad is perfect as an appetizer or a light side dish, especially with fish and meat dishes. Its fresh taste makes it an excellent choice in warm weather when something light and refreshing is desired.
