There's no reason to make this savory fruit salad unless the peaches you have are worth celebrating or you can get your hands on some superb nectarines.

SHAVED FENNEL SALAD
This is an antidote to every side salad that ever was. Instead of meh greens, it's got shavings of fennel that bend and twist but keep their refreshing crunch. It's got a lean dressing and nuggets of deeply toasted croutons, meaty walnuts, and shards of Parmesan. It has acidity and zing-lemon juice, the zest, vinegar, mint, and red pepper flakes-just in case you were worried about palate fatigue. This is what salad looks like in 2018.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place bread on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and walnuts on the other side (they cook at different rates). Drizzle bread with 3 Tbsp. oil; season with salt. Toss, squeezing bread with your hands to help it absorb as much oil as possible, until evenly coated. Bake until walnuts are golden brown and croutons are deeply browned and very crisp, 8-10 minutes for walnuts, 12-15 minutes for croutons. Let cool, then coarsely chop walnuts.
- Meanwhile, combine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Let sit 10 minutes to let garlic mellow and flavor the vinegar.
- Whisk 3 Tbsp. oil into vinegar mixture, then add croutons and chopped walnuts. Season crouton mixture with some salt and toss to coat and let croutons soften slightly; set aside.
- Remove stalks and fronds from fennel bulbs. Remove fronds from stalks and coarsely chop; thinly slice stalks. Place in a large bowl. Cut fennel bulbs in half and thinly slice on a mandoline (if you have one; if not, practice your knife skills). Add to same bowl along with mint. Zest lemon half over salad, then squeeze in juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.
- Divide reserved crouton mixture among plates and top with half of the Parmesan. Arrange fennel salad over; top with remaining Parmesan and drizzle with oil.

- Lay the slices of bresola on the edges of your serving platter and add the arugula to the center. Top the arugula with the peach-fennel mixture. Drizzle with more olive oil.

SHAVED FENNEL & RADISH SALAD WITH PICKLED PEACHES
Celebrate fennel season in mid-summer with this delightful side salad. It's made with radishes, shavings of lancashire cheese, basil, mint and pickled peaches

Yield Serves 4 as a side

Steps:
- First, make the pickled peaches. Put the peach slices in a bowl and set aside. Tip the remaining ingredients into a saucepan with 50ml water and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins. Pour the mixture over the peaches and leave to pickle for at least 30 mins, or up to a few hours.
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the almonds and fennel seeds on a baking tray, drizzle with the rapeseed oil, and sprinkle over the smoked paprika and a little salt. Toss to coat. Bake for 8 mins, or until toasted and slightly crisp.
- Pull away any tough outer leaves from the fennel bulbs (you can keep these to use for stock). Trim the bases, and remove the stems and fronds (again, reserving these for stock, if you like). Slice the bulbs in half along their cores, then lay them, cut-side down, on a chopping board. Very finely slice each half into half-moons, then tip into a bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice. Meanwhile, drain the pickled peach slices.
- Drain the radishes and combine with the fennel and a large pinch of salt. Leave to sit for a few minutes, then stir in the peaches, most of the cheese and half the herbs. Drizzle with the olive oil and scatter over the toasted almonds and fennel seeds. Garnish with the rest of the herbs, and a bit more cheese.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches. The flavor of the peaches will shine through in the salad, so it's important to use the best quality fruit you can find.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the peaches and fennel. This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more delicate.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the peaches. If the pan is too crowded, the peaches will steam instead of sear, and they won't have as much flavor.
- Let the salad cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the salad will be easier to eat.
Conclusion:
This peaches and shaved fennel salad with red pepper is a refreshing and flavorful summer dish. The combination of sweet peaches, crunchy fennel, and tangy red pepper is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
