FRESH FENNEL AND ARUGULA WITH MEYER LEMON DRESSING
I love crunchy fennel and peppery arugula dressed with a slightly sweet dressing made from Meyer lemons-a fresh-tasting pick-me-up. Meyer lemons are only available in the wintertime, so if you can't find them, use regular lemon juice and replace a third of it with fresh orange juice.

Steps:
- To prepare the dressing: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a small glass jar with a lid and season with salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To prepare the salad: Remove the green, feathery stalks from the fennel bulb, thinly slice the white part of the fennel bulb on a Japanese mandolin or with a knife. The thinner you cut the fennel the better. Place the sliced fennel in a medium mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing. Let sit for 30 minutes (this will soften the fennel slices a bit). Add the orange segments to the bowl and toss gently.
- Place the arugula in a medium mixing bowl and toss with remaining dressing.
- Divide the arugula among 4 plates and top with some of the fennel mixture. Season with a twist of freshly ground black pepper.
MELON AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FENNEL AND CHILE
This sweet-savory, crunchy-creamy dish nods to California summers, when a drive to the market can often end with avocados and melons buckled in the back seat. The recipe is simple, and instantly impressive: It involves little more than scooping out the fresh fruit and topping it with a spicy-sweet pinch of sugar and a drizzle of dressing. Rubbing toasted fennel seeds, red-pepper flakes and lemon zest into sugar and salt helps their floral kick travel far. The salad's balance depends on your melon and avocado, so rely on taste more than measurements here. Adjust the ingredients as needed, until the salad is rich, punchy and bright, bite after bite.

Steps:
- In a small skillet over medium-low, toast the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board, then smash with a heavy pan until the fennel seeds break apart. (You can also do this using a mortar and pestle.)
- Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, then add the salt, sugar and 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest. Rub the mixture with your fingers until you smell the lemon.
- Using a soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of the melon and place them directly on a serving platter. Halve the avocados and remove the pit. Using the soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of avocado and place on top of the melon.
- Drizzle the fruit with 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then sprinkle with some of the fennel-chile mixture. (Start with half of it, then add more to taste.) Drizzle with the olive oil, then taste and adjust acid (with lemon juice), richness (with oil), and salt and sweetness (with fennel mixture) until it tastes fresh and bright. Serve right away.
Tips:
- Choose ripe melons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet aroma.
- If the melons are not ripe, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
- Use a variety of melons to create a colorful and flavorful salad.
- Fennel and marjoram add a unique flavor to the salad. If you don't have these ingredients on hand, you can substitute other herbs, such as basil, thyme, or oregano.
- The lemon-honey dressing is a great way to balance the sweetness of the melons. You can adjust the amount of honey to taste.
Conclusion:
This melon salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The combination of sweet melons, arugula, fennel, and marjoram is a delicious and unique flavor combination. The lemon-honey dressing adds a perfect finishing touch. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
