Can I make this Sicilian Orange and Fennel Bulb Salad without passion fruit vinegar?

Yes, the recipe notes that passion fruit vinegar is optional, so you can simply omit it from the dressing without affecting the core flavors.

How should I prepare the oranges for this salad?

You'll slice the peel off two medium oranges and then slice the oranges somewhat thinly. Remember to save about 1/3 of one orange to squeeze for the dressing.

Why is the dressing simmered for this salad?

Simmering the vinegar, orange juice, basil, salt, and pepper for two minutes helps to meld the flavors and create a warm, aromatic vinaigrette that adds depth to the salad.

What if I don't have Kalamata olives for this recipe?

The recipe states that black olives are an acceptable substitute for Kalamata olives, so feel free to use those if Kalamata olives are unavailable.

How should I store leftover Sicilian Orange and Fennel Bulb Salad?

For best freshness, store any leftover salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Toss just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting.
