"This is a beautiful and delicious fennel salad, with a presentation that is totally company worthy! The dressing is unbelievably good, with that delicious hint of toasted coriander. The original recipe calls for toasting coriander seed and grinding, but I find it easier and just as tasty to toast a bit of ground coriander. Adapted from Epicurious."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a dry small heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot and toast corianders, stirring until fragrant and a little darker, about 1 minute. In a small bowl, whisk together coriander and remaining dressing ingredients. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
Step 2
Using a mandoline, carefully slice onion crosswise into very thin rings. Soak the onion slices in a bowl of ice and cold water, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Trim stalks from the fennel and using the mandoline, slice thinly.
Step 4
With a very sharp knife, cut a slice from top and bottom of each orange to expose the flesh and arrange cut side down on a cutting board. Cutting from top to bottom, remove peel and pith. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Step 5
Coarsly chop the mint leaves.
Step 6
Drain the sliced onion and pat dry between paper towels.
Step 7
Place some spinach leaves on six individual salad plates. Evenly divide the fennel over the spinach, followed by the red onion, to taste. Arrange a slice of navel orange in the center, then two blood orange slices overlapping the sides (or whatever looks nice to you!). Sprinkle the mint over the salads.
Step 8
Whisk the dressing and drizzle over each salad right before serving.
