Best 4 Shaved Fennel And Parmesan Salad Recipes

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.

SHAVED FENNEL, MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• Use a fork to whisk the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the mushrooms very thin. Put them in a serving bowl and toss with about 2 teaspoons of the olive oil mixture.
• Chop enough of the fennel fronds to make about 2 tablespoons (reserve the rest for another use). Trim the tops and bottoms from the fennel bulbs and halve the bulbs; slice off most of the core (leaving on a bit helps keep the bulb intact). Using the mandoline, shave the fennel bulbs almost paper thin from the root to the top end right over the mushrooms. Add the fennel fronds and the lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Shave the Parmesan over the salad using a vegetable peeler. Drizzle the remaining olive oil mixture around the edge of the bowl and toss everything gently but well to combine.

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with the salt and pepper and whisk in the olive oil.
• Using a sharp knife or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the fennel bulbs wafer-thin, cutting from the base to the tip to make fanlike slices. Place the fennel in the lemon vinaigrette and toss.
• Tear the radicchio leaves into bite-size pieces and toss with the fennel. Divide between 4 salad plates. Then, using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin sheets, sprinkle on each plate and serve.
