Steps:

  • The quantities of this salad are really up to you, but I look for roughly 2 parts fennel to 1 part radish. When buying radishes look for those that are really firm. The longer, oval-shaped ones are really nice. Wash them and slice thinly. Fennel comes in two types: the thinner Fennel and a rounder, fatter variety. It is the rounder, fatter fennel buds that you want -- these are normally much more well packed, less stringy and generally have a lot more of the green tops, which you need.
  • Cut the tops and the excess stalk off the top of the fennel and set aside. Trim the bottom of the bulb in half and slice as thinly as possible from the root to the top. Put the radishes and the fennel into a bowl and cover with cold water, adding some ice. Leave for at least 15 minutes to get the radishes and fennel really, really crispy. Drain, spin them or pat them dry, put into a bowl and dress them with olive oil and lemon juice dressing. Chop the fennel tops and sprinkle them on top. This is great with grilled fish.

TONNATO SAUCE



Tonnato Sauce image

I was probably in my early twenties when this sauce first appeared on my culinary radar as 'vitello tonnato.' At the time, a plate of cold, thinly-sliced poached veal dressed with a chilled, runny tuna sauce didn't make a lot of sense, but I tried it anyway, and have been a fan ever since. I don't often serve it with the traditional veal, but ironically that's the only thing I don't serve it with. Tonnato sauce is tremendous as a spread and equally impressive as an all-purpose, all-world dip.

BAKED TUNA SALAD WITH FENNEL



Baked Tuna Salad With Fennel image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds tuna, in one chunk
2 heads fennel, sliced into 1/2-inch- thick rings, leafy green fronds reserved
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 to 3 cups olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cups salad greens
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 red tomato, sliced into thin wedges
1 yellow tomato, sliced into thin wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Season the tuna and fennel generously with salt and pepper and place in a deep, 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Place the garlic in the pan and pour in just enough olive oil to cover the tuna. Bake for 15 minutes, until the fennel softens and the tuna is just pink at the center. Remove from the oven and cool in the oil for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tuna, fennel and garlic from the oil and allow to cool.
  • Place the garlic, 6 tablespoons of the oil in which the fish cooked and the lemon juice in the container of a blender and blend until smooth. (Discard the remaining oil or save it for another use.) Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Toss the greens and onion with 3 tablespoons of the dressing and place them on a platter. Slice the tuna thinly and lay it over the greens along with the fennel. Toss the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and surround the tuna with them. Pour the remaining dressing over the tuna, chop a few of the fennel fronds and sprinkle them over the tuna. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose fresh, crisp fennel, radish, and cucumber.
  • To make the tuna dressing, use high-quality tuna packed in olive oil.
  • If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped cornichons or dill pickles.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and vegetables up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble the salad just before serving.
  • Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This fennel, radish, and cucumber salad with tuna dressing is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of the crisp vegetables, creamy dressing, and briny capers is simply delicious. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
