Categories     Salad     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Lemon     Artichoke     Fennel     Parsley

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large artichokes
2 lemons
2 large fennel bulbs
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons white truffle oil
salt and pepper
1 piece Reggiano Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
About 1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pare the artichokes down to their hearts and scoop out the chokes with a spoon, dropping them into water acidulated with the juice of 1 of the lemons.
  • Cut off the feathery tops of the fennel at the base of their stalks and remove the outer layer of the bulbs. Slice the bulbs very thin with a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Remove the artichoke hearts from the water and slice them very thin the same way.
  • Assemble the salad in layers on a large platter or on individual salad plates. First make a layer of the fennel slices. Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the fennel and drizzle with salt and pepper. Then make a layer of the artichoke hearts, also slice very thin. Squeeze more lemon juice over them, drizzle evenly with another third of the oils, and season with salt and pepper. Cut thin shavings of the Parmesan with cheese slicer or a vegetable peeler and arrange them on top of the artichoke slices. Scatter the parsley leaves over the cheese, season with salt and pepper, squeeze more lemon juice over, and drizzle evenly with the rest of the oils. Serve immediately.

Artichoke, Fennel, and Edamame Salad image

Categories     Salad     Soy     Roast     Vegetarian     Lemon     Artichoke     Fennel     Summer     Vegan     Shallot     Parsley     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
3 pounds baby artichokes
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed (fronds reserved), quartered, thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
4 1/2 cups cooked shelled edamame*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Fill medium bowl with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, pull off tough outer leaves (about 3 rows). Cut tip and stem off artichoke. Cut artichoke in half. Scoop out any choke. Place in lemon water.
  • Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Drain artichokes; pat dry. Return to bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil and toss. Transfer to prepared sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender when pierced, stirring once, about 20 minutes. Cool on sheet.
  • Whisk 6 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, shallots, fennel seeds, and lemon peel in large bowl. Stir in sliced fennel, parsley, artichokes, and edamame. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.) Garnish with reserved fennel fronds and serve.
  • *Edamame (soybeans) are available at many supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest artichokes and fennel: Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and a heavy feel. Fennel bulbs should be firm and white with no blemishes.
  • Trim the artichokes properly: Cut off the stem and the top third of the artichoke. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
  • Slice the fennel thinly: Use a sharp knife to slice the fennel bulb as thinly as possible. This will help the fennel absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard is a great option for this salad. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for extra flavor.
  • Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the fennel to soften slightly.

Conclusion:

Artichoke and fennel salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light lunch or a side dish for your next barbecue, this salad is sure to please.
