This is such a delicious, summery salad which combines the earthy, slightly aniseed flavour of chicory with sharp, zesty and fruity orange. It’s a pretty simple recipe as it stands, but we’ve added an extra special ingredient to the mix in our beautiful Calabrian Fennel Pollen, an ingredient so luxurious and exotic you could bathe in it! Beside the luxury, it brings an extra splash of sunshine into an already summery dish. The salad is great as a side dish, especially if the main dish is rich as the sweet zest of the orange will cut through that.
