Arugula Fennel Salad
Shaved fennel and baby arugula with lemon-Dijon vinaigrette and Parmesan.
Ingredients
- Salad — 2 Medium Fennel Bulbs (Very Thinly Sliced)
- Salad — 5 oz Baby Arugula
- Salad — ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano (Shaved)
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — 1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — 1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — ½ tsp Lemon Zest
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — Kosher Salt to Taste
- Lemon-Dijon Vinaigrette — Coarse Ground Black Pepper to Taste
Method
- PREPARE THE FENNEL: Trim the stalks, reserving a few fronds. Halve the bulbs lengthwise, remove most of the tough core and slice very thinly. Soak in ice water for 10–15 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly.
- MAKE THE VINAIGRETTE: Whisk the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon and lemon zest. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- TOSS AND FINISH: Combine the fennel and arugula. Add about two-thirds of the dressing and toss, then add more only as needed to lightly coat. Finish with shaved Parmesan and the reserved fennel fronds.
