Amalfi Salad

First course was a simple Amalfi salad that i got from Jaimie's Italy. Its a lovely dish to start out with because its light and flavorful and probably a good way to build up to the heavier dishes.  This salad originates from the Amalfi coast, a stretch of coastline in Southern Italy. Amalfi is well known for the abundant citrus fruit that grows here and rightfully so this salad packs in the flavors with slices of sweet orange.

The key to this salad is to slice all the vegetables very thinly. My knife skills are pretty lousy so I used a kitchen mandolin which made things much more simple.
Simple slice up baby radish, cucumber, fennel, red onion and oranges and toss it in a dressing of olive oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.... rather effortless I would say!
