  1. Prepare Orange Dressing: In a shaker jar, combine orange juice, oil, chives and salt and pepper. Cover and shake well; set aside.

  2. Prepare Salad: Wash fennel and trim off any blemishes. Trim leafy end of fennel bulb to within 1 inch of the head; reserving a few of the fronds. Trim a thin slice from the bottom end of the bulb. Quarter fennel; cut into julienne sticks. In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, fennel and grapes.

  3. Cut mozzarella cheese into eight 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Break the egg into a small bowl; add water. Beat mixture lightly with a fork. Dip each cheese slice in egg mixture to coat, then into breadcrumbs to coat all sides. Place coated cheese slices on a wax-paper-lined tray.

  4. Toss salad with the dressing. Spoon salad mixture onto 4 salad plates. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil; add cheese slices. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Using a metal spatula, immediately transfer 2 cheese slices to each salad plate. Sprinkle chopped fennel fronds over salads and serve.
