Fennel Green Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, combine greens, fennel bulb, onion, mushrooms and red pepper. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, fennel fronds, honey and salt; shake well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat.

Steps:

• For the orange vinaigrette: In a salad dressing shaker, combine the orange juice, vinegar, honey, red onions and olive oil; shake to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Make sure to shake the vinaigrette once again right before dressing the salad. (Reserve any extra vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
• For the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the fennel and radishes, breaking up any pieces that are sticking together. Add the orange supremes, upland cress, pistachios and olives and gently fold the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Gently toss the salad with vinaigrette and garnish with fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Shred romaine and raddichio and discard cores. Trim tops of fennel bulb and quarter lengthwise. Remove core from each quarter with an angled cut into each quarter. Slice fennel across into thin pieces and add to salad. Dress salad with vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper, to taste.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Once heated, place walnuts on a sheet pan and cook until toasted and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer nuts to a cutting board to cool. (You'll use the sheet pan in the next step.)
• Cut the fennel bulbs in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 1-inch wedges (you'll have about 6), taking care to include a bit of core in each slice to hold it together while cooking. Arrange the slices on the sheet pan, ensuring they do not overlap. Add the grapes to a corner of the sheet pan. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over the fennel and grapes. Season with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Roast for 40 minutes, flipping the fennel and shaking the grapes around at the 20-minute mark. When done, the fennel should be tender and browned; the grapes should be a bit withered and caramelized in some spots. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the cooled walnuts, and set aside while you prepare the dressing: In a small glass jar, combine the shallot, sherry vinegar, orange zest and juice, mustard, salt, black pepper and olive oil. Cover and shake well to combine. Set aside.
• Assemble the salad: Transfer the roasted fennel and grapes to a platter. Spoon 4 tablespoons of the dressing over the roasted fennel and grapes, ensuring the shallot rings are evenly distributed. (Extra dressing can be served alongside.) Top with chopped nuts. Just before serving, grate the Manchego cheese on the largest hole of a box grater. Top salad with Manchego, reserved fennel fronds and a few more cracks of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook green beans in large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl of ice water. Drain beans. Pat dry. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill dressing. Wrap green beans in paper towels and chill.)
• Place beans in large bowl. Add fennel, mushrooms, parsley, chives and lemon peel. Drizzle dressing over; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill 30 minutes. Toss again and serve.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Put chopped anchovies, lemon juice and zest, preserved lemon (if using) and garlic in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk in olive oil.
• Prepare the salad: Place sliced fennel in a salad bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Add olives and dressing, and toss to coat.
• Transfer to serving platter or individual plates. Surround with halved eggs (draped with more anchovy fillets, if desired), and scatter parsley leaves over the top.

Steps:

• Chop off the fronds where they meet the body of one fennel bulb.
• Halve the fennel then thinly slice using a mandoline or a very sharp chefs knife.
• Repeat with the other bulb.
• You should have 2 cups of sliced fennel. Set them aside.
• chop one tablespoon of the fronds and set them aside also.
• Put the fennel and the apple into a mixing bowl.
• Add the pecorino romano, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of olive oil and parsley.
• Toss gently, taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the salad on a large, chilled serving platter.
• Drizzle more olive oil generously over the top, and scatter with the fronds just before serving.

Steps:

• In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Gradually whisk in oil, then zest.
• In large sauté pan, bring 1 inch water to boil. Add asparagus and simmer until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain in colander, then rinse under cold running water until cool. Thinly slice on diagonal and transfer to large bowl.
• Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over medium bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. Add segments and any juice in medium bowl to large bowl with asparagus; squeeze juice from membranes into dressing and whisk to combine.
• Add fennel and then salad greens to large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss gently. Sprinkle chives on top and serve immediately.
