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.

I'm not a big fan of salads, but this one is actually pretty good. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the fennel and artichokes add a nice crunch.

I'm allergic to artichokes, so I had to leave them out of my salad. It was still good, but I think it would have been even better with them.

This salad is way too expensive for what you get. I could have made something similar at home for a fraction of the cost.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much olive oil.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken or grilled shrimp. It's also a good way to get your daily dose of protein.
