Fresh Fennel And Arugula With Meyer Lemon Dressing Recipes

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.

FRESH FENNEL AND ARUGULA WITH MEYER LEMON DRESSING

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.
