For the best flavor, allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least 15 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Use a mandoline to get paper-thin slices of fennel, which will make it more tender and palatable. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried basil. However, fresh basil is highly recommended for its superior flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar in the vinaigrette to your liking. Some oranges can be quite sweet, so you may need less sugar. This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the greens from becoming soggy.
