Fennel Salad With Lemon Dressing And Parmesan Recipes

FENNEL SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Cut stalks off fennel (save fronds). Shave the fennel and onion using a mandolin, or slice finely.
• Place in a bowl. Add lemon juice and 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
• Spread out on a plate "carpaccio" style. Drizzle with more olive oil, top with freshly grated parmesan then sprinkle with fennel fronds.
• Serve immediately!

FENNEL SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Using a large chef's knife, chop off the fennel stalks, saving them for the garnish. Then cut off the root end of the fennel. Remove any tough outer layers of the fennel and discard them. Slice down the center of the fennel bulb. Place it on its cut side and cut very thin half-moon slices parallel to the root end. (Go to How to Cut Fennel for more. You can also use a mandolin to cut very thin slices if you have one.)
• Thinly slice the apple. Place the fennel and apple slices in a medium bowl, and add the shaved Parmesan cheese (cut shavings with a vegetable peeler).
• Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Pull off the wispy parts (the fronds) with your fingers, and roughly tear them, adding enough for about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Place them in the bowl.
• Gently toss the salad with your hands until it's evenly coated, taking care not to break the apple slices. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until serving. Stores up to 3 days refrigerated; refresh the flavors with a pinch of salt and a bit of lemon juice or zest if desired.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Put lemon juice, zest and garlic in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil. Set dressing aside for at least 10 minutes.
• Prepare the salad: Place sliced fennel and celery in a salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Discard garlic from the dressing, and whisk dressing. Pour over vegetables, and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• To serve, transfer salad to a platter, and surround with radicchio, if using. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan generously over the salad. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Garnish with radishes, if desired.

FENNEL, LEMON & MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Quarter the fennel bulbs and cut out the cores. Finely shred the fennel by hand or on a mandolin. Finely slice the red onion and mix with the lemon juice to soften the flavour. Quarter the preserved lemons, then scoop out and discard the flesh. Finely chop the peel and add to the fennel.
• Mix the mint leaves into the fennel and lemon. Add the onion, olive oil and some seasoning, and toss well to mix.

BRAISED FENNEL WITH MEYER LEMON AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Trim the fennel and roughly chop 1 tablespoon of the fronds. Halve each bulb through the core, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to coat the pan. When hot, cook half the fennel, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining fennel, adding more oil to the pan if needed.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the fennel, broth, lemon rind and juice and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce until syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Fold the sauce and reserved fronds into the fennel and top with Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FENNEL WITH PARSLEY, PARMESAN, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Halve, core, and thinly slice fennel bulb (preferably on a mandoline). In a bowl, toss fennel with fresh lemon juice.
• Add parsley leaves, reserved fennel fronds, and olive oil to bowl with fennel and toss. Season with salt and and pepper and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan.

SHAVED FENNEL AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with the salt and pepper and whisk in the olive oil.
• Using a sharp knife or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the fennel bulbs wafer-thin, cutting from the base to the tip to make fanlike slices. Place the fennel in the lemon vinaigrette and toss.
• Tear the radicchio leaves into bite-size pieces and toss with the fennel. Divide between 4 salad plates. Then, using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin sheets, sprinkle on each plate and serve.

ARUGULA-FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing by whisking the olive oil, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a small bowl; set aside. Place the arugula leaves into a large salad bowl. Sprinkle the fennel, pine nuts, grape tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese over top. Toss with the lemon dressing immediately before serving.
