Ingredients

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon, freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon champagne vinegar

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Pinch of sugar

Freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 pound baby or halved regular carrots (about 2 1/2 cups), peeled into ribbons

1/2 medium fennel bulb, (about 10 ounces), trimmed, halved lengthwise, and thinly sliced crosswise

1 medium shallot, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

3 small oranges, peel and pith removed, carved into segments using a sharp knife (about 1 1/4 cups)

4 cups Mache

Preparation

Make the dressing: Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl; season with pepper. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until emulsified.

Make the salad: Toss carrots and fennel in bowl with dressing to coat. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer carrot-fennel mixture to a large bowl; discard excess dressing. Add shallot, orange segments, and mache; toss to combine. Divide salad among 4 serving plates.
