Description

This is an elegant and delicious alternative to lettuce salads. The crispness of the fennel and the gentle taste of the artichoke pair well with the fresh lemon vinaigrette. Serve alongside simple grilled salmon and brown rice pilaf. Delish!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 2 bulbs Fresh Fennel With Fronds
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Washed & Chopped
  • 2 cans (14 Oz. Size) Quartered Artichokes, Drained
  • 3 whole Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
  • _____
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, Fresh Or Bottled
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper

Preparation

1) Rinse the whole fennel well. Trim the bottom of the bulb and cut one inch above the white bulb. Thinly slice the fennel bulb and place in a large bowl. Chop the tender, deep green fronds (about 1 cup) and add to the bowl. (Do not use the celery looking stalks for the salad, they are very tough. However, they would be great in a soup.) Add parsley, artichoke quarters, and green onions.
2) In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil through the pepper.
3) Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently. Taste, add additional salt and pepper if necessary.

This is an instant favorite in our house! It’s cool and refreshing, and it will be great on those summer days when turning on the stove is just too much to ask.

Tried this recipe last night! It was delicious! I love fennel and artichokes both, so I knew I’d enjoy this. Didn’t change a thing, I’ll be making this often!!

Wow, as soon as I can get my hands on some fennel I am making this. I can’t believe I never thought of the two together, they both have that wonderful sweet aftertaste. Thanks so much~!

This is a wonderful dish! It’s light and cool, not to mention delicious. I don’t make any changes when I make it, which is a surprise…I’m pretty picky! It’s best when it’s got some time to sit and let the flavors meld, but it’s darn good right away too!
