Melon Salad With Arugula Fennel And Marjoram Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, shallots, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly pour in the olive oil, whisking constantly, to form an emulsion. If not using within an hour, store the vinaigrette covered in the refrigerator.
• Place the arugula, watermelon, feta, and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with enough vinaigrette to coat the greens lightly and toss well. Taste for seasonings and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine the Canary and Charentais melons and watermelon. Sprinkle with the salt and toss to combine.
• 2. Add the fennel to the bowl. Drizzle the oil and vinegar over the melons and fennel and gently mix with your hands. Let the melon and fennel marinate in the dressing at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• 3. Add the arugula and marjoram to the bowl and toss until just combined. Season with salt. Transfer the salad to a large rimmed serving platter or shallow salad bowl. Pour any juice from the bowl over the top of the salad and dig in.

Steps:

• Place the arugula and watermelon in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place on 6 salad plates.
• With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and sprinkle them on the arugula and watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Steps:

• Toss the arugula, watermelon, red onion, and feta cheese with the balsamic vinaigrette in a large bowl. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; slowly add the olive oil while continuing to whisk.
• Place the arugula in the bottom of a salad bowl; scatter the orange segments, fennel slices, and olives over the arugula; drizzle the dressing over the salad to serve.

Steps:

• Cut the lemons and oranges into thin slices, removing any seeds.
• Thinly slice the fennel.
• Wash and dry the rocket leaves and tear them into small pieces.
• Chill all ingredients while making the Toasted Sesame Dressing: heat the sesame oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and cook, stirring constantly until lightly golden. Remove from heat and cool. Pour mixture into a small container. Whisk in the white wine vinegar and mustard, and season with salt and black pepper.
• Combine the fruit, fennel, rocket, pecans, and olives in a shallow serving bowl. Drizzle with the dressing.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut off the top and bottom of the watermelon to reveal the red flesh and create flat surfaces on both sides. Stand the watermelon upright, and slice off the remaining peel so only the red core remains.
• Cut the watermelon into roughly 1-inch (2 cm) cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, water, honey, and salt.
• While whisking, gradually add the oil in a very slow, steady stream to create an emulsification. Set aside.
• Add the arugula, feta, and honey lime dressing to the large bowl with the watermelon.
• Toss the salad until well-combined, then divide between serving bowls.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium-low, toast the fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board, then smash with a heavy pan until the fennel seeds break apart. (You can also do this using a mortar and pestle.)
• Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, then add the salt, sugar and 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest. Rub the mixture with your fingers until you smell the lemon.
• Using a soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of the melon and place them directly on a serving platter. Halve the avocados and remove the pit. Using the soup spoon, scoop out small spoonfuls of avocado and place on top of the melon.
• Drizzle the fruit with 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then sprinkle with some of the fennel-chile mixture. (Start with half of it, then add more to taste.) Drizzle with the olive oil, then taste and adjust acid (with lemon juice), richness (with oil), and salt and sweetness (with fennel mixture) until it tastes fresh and bright. Serve right away.

Steps:

• Prepare fennel - using only the white bulb, shave thin slices on a mandolin or with a very sharp knife. Set aside.
• Prepare pecorino-romano cheese - finely grated cheese does NOT have enough flavor "punch", so buy your cheese in bulk and create larger pieces, such as match-stick size or larger shavings.
• On 4 cold plates, arrange arugula. Top with orange sections, shaved fennel and pieces of pecorino-romano cheese.
• Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or balsamic "glaze" (see note below). Finish with a grinding of fresh black pepper and serve.
• NOTE: You can find balsamic "glaze" in gourmet or Italian stores. It is a thicker, more concentrated balsamic vinegar.
