This crisp fennel and rocket salad with Meyer lemon dressing is a masterclass in balancing vibrant, clean flavours. The natural aniseed notes of finely shaved fennel bulbs are beautifully softened by a citrus infusion, providing a delicate crunch that contrasts with the peppery bite of fresh baby rocket. The addition of juicy orange segments brings a subtle sweetness that cuts through the zesty dressing, creating a sophisticated and refreshing starter or side dish.
As a naturally vegan and gluten-free recipe, this salad is an excellent choice for light seasonal dining or as a palate-cleansing accompaniment to grilled mains. Using Meyer lemons provides a thinner skins and a sweeter, more floral aroma than standard lemons, though regular lemons also work well if Meyer ones are unavailable. It is a simple yet elegant way to celebrate fresh, plant-based ingredients.

Ingredients for Fresh Fennel and Rocket With Meyer Lemon Dressing
90ml extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium fennel bulbs
2 oranges, peeled and separated into segments
4 cups baby rocket leaves
How to make Fresh Fennel and Rocket With Meyer Lemon Dressing
Back to contentsTo prepare the dressing: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a small glass jar with a lid and season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To prepare the salad: Remove the green, feathery stalks from the fennel bulb, thinly slice the white part of the fennel bulb on a Japanese mandolin or with a knife. The thinner you cut the fennel the better. Place the sliced fennel in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing. Let sit for 30 minutes (this will soften the fennel slices a bit). Add the orange segments to the bowl and toss gently.
Place the rocket in a medium mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing.
Divide the rocket among 4 plates and top with some of the fennel mixture. Season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper.
