ROASTED FENNEL AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Canned artichokes add subtlety and flavor to this meal. We like the Whole Foods 365 brand because the artichokes don't come out too salty when roasted.

ARTICHOKE, FENNEL, AND EDAMAME SALAD
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.
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 fresh and high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the edamame. They should be cooked until they are bright green and tender, but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients in the salad.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten up the flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the edamame from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Artichoke, fennel, and edamame salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is also very easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy salad that the whole family will enjoy.
