Arugula, Fennel & Pecan Salad with Sesame Orange Dressing

1. Prepare dressing. In a small bowl, squeeze juice from the oranges and zest some of the skin of the orange for more flavor. Then add sesame oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds. Mix with a spoon and leave aside.

2. In a large bowl, add baby arugula.

3. Slice the stems and leaves off the fennel, so you are just using the fennel bulb. With your hand remove the dirty outer layer of fennel. Slice fennel in half. With a mandolin, slice fennel in paper thin pieces.

4. Add fennel and diced pecan nuts to arugula. If you have dried cranberries, add that too. Pour dressing over the top and with tongs, toss salad.
