  • 2
    tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2
    tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2
    tablespoons orange juice
  • 1
    tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1
    tablespoon honey

Directions

1. Combine cranberry juice, wine, and cranberries in a medium saucepan; bring to boiling. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup; cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, cook shallots in 1 tablespoon hot olive oil in a small saucepan until tender but not brown. Place cranberry mixture, shallots, remaining olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, honey, and dill in a food processor bowl or blender container. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover; process or blend until smooth.

3. Place sliced fennel in a medium bowl. Pour enough boiling water over fennel to cover. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain. Place the greens in a large salad bowl. Arrange fennel, orange slices, onion, and olives on top of the greens. Drizzle cranberry vinaigrette over salad. Toss lightly before serving. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
