SHAVED FENNEL, ARTICHOKE, AND PARMESAN SALAD
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.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients. Artichokes, fennel, and arugula are all at their best in the spring and summer months. Look for artichokes that are heavy and have tightly closed leaves. Fennel bulbs should be firm and white, with no signs of bruising or wilting. Arugula should be bright green and have a peppery flavor.
- Prepare the artichokes properly. Artichokes can be a bit intimidating to prepare, but it's actually quite easy once you know how. Simply trim the stem and remove the tough outer leaves. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke. You can then steam, boil, or grill the artichokes until they are tender.
- Slice the fennel thinly. Fennel has a strong flavor, so it's important to slice it thinly so that it doesn't overpower the other ingredients in the salad.
- Use a light dressing. A simple vinaigrette is all you need to dress this salad. Olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper are all you need to create a delicious and flavorful dressing.
- Add some crunch. Toasted nuts or seeds add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. Pine nuts, walnuts, and almonds are all good choices.
- Serve immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Artichokes, fennel, and arugula salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up any leftover artichokes or fennel. With its vibrant flavors and textures, this salad is sure to please everyone at the table.
