PARSLEY SALAD WITH FENNEL AND HORSERADISH

Parsley Salad With Fennel and Horseradish image

I have always been the one at the Seder table to eat the parsley dipped in saltwater with enthusiasm. "You going to finish that?" I might ask my neighbor at the table when I see they have left theirs untouched after just a nibble. This salad is an obvious nod to the Seder plate, including both parsley (bitter herbs) and fresh horseradish, except it's less ceremonial and more just a very delicious salad. I love, love parsley and think a well-seasoned bowl of it is something that most tables can benefit from, especially if those tables include braised pots of red meat. While parsley and fennel can be prepared ahead of time, the salad itself is best dressed right before you eat.

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 fennel bulbs, thinly sliced
1 large bunch parsley, tender stems and leaves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh horseradish, for grating

Steps:

Toss fennel and parsley together in a medium bowl. Add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Season again with salt, pepper and more lemon juice if you like. (It should be fairly lemony.)
Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat and grate a bit of fresh horseradish over everything, gently tossing to distribute the horseradish. (Doing it this way prevents clumping.) Transfer to a serving bowl and grate more horseradish over before serving.

Ingredients

4 baby fennel, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup (2 fluid ounces) orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon seeded mustard
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Tips:

Choose fresh, tender fennel bulbs: Look for fennel bulbs that are firm and have no blemishes. The fronds should be bright green and crisp.
Slice the fennel thinly: This will help the fennel absorb the dressing and make it more tender.
Use a variety of herbs: Parsley, basil, mint, and dill are all great options. Choose herbs that you enjoy the flavor of and that will complement the other ingredients in the salad.
Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the salad immediately: Fennel salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Fennel and parsley salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright flavors and crunchy texture, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
