Ingredients

5 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sugar
3 oranges
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/2 medium-size red onion, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, cilantro, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, ginger and sugar in medium bowl. Cut peel and white pith from oranges; discard. Holding oranges over bowl to catch juices, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl. Add fennel and onion; toss gently. Season with salt and pepper. (Salsa can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
