ROASTED FENNEL AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Canned artichokes add subtlety and flavor to this meal. We like the Whole Foods 365 brand because the artichokes don't come out too salty when roasted.

Steps:
- Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. In a separate medium bowl, place the arugula. Spoon a small amount of the dressing onto the arugula and toss to coat. Spread a bed of arugula on a plate and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced artichokes, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper with the remaining dressing. Mix well to coat. Mound the artichoke mixture on top of the arugula. Top with the shaved Parmesan and serve.
RAW ARTICHOKE AND PARMIGIANO SALAD
Steps:
- Set up a bowl of acidulated water: break the vitamin C capsules into a large bowl of water and squeeze in the juice from 2 of the lemons. Toss in the 4 halves of the squeezed lemon as well. Artichokes will turn brown (oxidize) before your eyes so you must, must, must set up this bowl of acidulated water first!
- Working with 1 artichoke at a time, peel off the tough green outer leaves to reveal the spring green color underneath. Trim off the tough outer layer of the stem and any brown spots. Cut the tip of the choke off. Artichokes have a lot of waste, accept it and move on. Very carefully, using a mandoline, very thin shave the artichokes and put them immediately into the lemon water. The artichokes are best when done at least a couple of hours ahead because they tenderize a little.
- To assemble the salad:
- Put the artichokes in a salad spinner to remove they excess water. Put the artichokes, arugula and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a large serving bowl. Dress with the juice of the remaining lemon, finishing oil and salt, to taste. The salad should be well-dressed and full flavored but not soggy.
- Serve immediately.
- It's spring on a plate!

SHAVED FENNEL, ARTICHOKE, AND PARMESAN SALAD
Steps:
- Pare the artichokes down to their hearts and scoop out the chokes with a spoon, dropping them into water acidulated with the juice of 1 of the lemons.
- Cut off the feathery tops of the fennel at the base of their stalks and remove the outer layer of the bulbs. Slice the bulbs very thin with a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Remove the artichoke hearts from the water and slice them very thin the same way.
- Assemble the salad in layers on a large platter or on individual salad plates. First make a layer of the fennel slices. Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the fennel and drizzle with salt and pepper. Then make a layer of the artichoke hearts, also slice very thin. Squeeze more lemon juice over them, drizzle evenly with another third of the oils, and season with salt and pepper. Cut thin shavings of the Parmesan with cheese slicer or a vegetable peeler and arrange them on top of the artichoke slices. Scatter the parsley leaves over the cheese, season with salt and pepper, squeeze more lemon juice over, and drizzle evenly with the rest of the oils. Serve immediately.
ARTICHOKE HEART, FENNEL, AND PARMESAN SALAD
Steps:
- In a bowl whisk together well the lemon juice, the mustard, the garlic paste, the red pepper flakes, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste, stir in the artichoke hearts, the fennel, the Parmesan, and the parsley, and chill the salad, covered, for 20 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for artichoke hearts that are firm and have a bright green color. Fennel bulbs should be crisp and white, and Parmesan cheese should be freshly grated.
- Slice the fennel thinly: This will help the fennel to absorb the flavors of the dressing and make it easier to eat.
- Don't overcook the artichoke hearts: They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the delicate flavors of the artichoke hearts and fennel. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-based dressing is a good choice.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is a salad that is best enjoyed fresh. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and the artichoke hearts will start to lose their crunch.
Conclusion:
This artichoke heart, fennel, and Parmesan salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or light lunch. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
