FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN



Fennel and Celery Salad With Lemon and Parmesan image

This crisp, lemony salad of raw fennel and celery (you could add thinly sliced celery root to the salad as well) makes a refreshing start to a meal, garnished with radishes and slightly bitter Treviso or radicchio leaves. It could also be a light meal on its own. Don't slice the vegetables paper-thin; you want the salad to have some crunch. You may prepare the vegetables up to an hour in advance and keep refrigerated, but don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before serving.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed and finely sliced (about 2 cups)
1 or 2 celery hearts, pale ribs and leaves, finely sliced (about 2 cups)
Radicchio or Treviso leaves, for serving (optional)
1 small piece of Parmesan (about 2 ounces), for serving
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley
Basil leaves, for serving

  • Discard garlic from the dressing, and whisk dressing. Pour over vegetables, and toss well. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  • For a more flavorful salad, marinate the vegetables in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
