  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

¼ cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2½ teaspoons honey
1½ teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger, divided
A pinch of salt
3 large red plums, cut into thin wedges
½ small fennel bulb, thinly sliced
Olive oil, toasted sesame seeds, and fennel fronds for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Cut 3 large red plums into thin wedges and thinly slice ½ small fennel bulb. Add to dressing; toss to coat.
