0.33 of a bulb of thinly sliced fennel (ideally use a mandolin to get thin shavings)

5 Sunkist^® Blood orange citrus segments

40 ml of Mimosa vinaigrette

Mimosa Vinaigrette ingredients

20 ml freshly squeezed Sunkist^® Navel orange juice
10 ml extra virgin olive oil

Fresh finely chopped tarragon (easier to find than dried tarragon, and widely available in stores)
A good pinch of salt and 4 turns from a pepper mill
Small handful of grated Parmigiano Reggiano (this cheese is lactose free)
